Bingham Mine


Cousins, cousins, cousins. It is always an adventure when the cousins come to town. Yesterday we visited the Bingham Mine...otherwise known as Kennecott Copper Mine. The kids loved seeing the huge trucks and the monster loaders that can scoop 98 tons in one scoop!

The kids were really interested...seriously! I didn't think they would make it through the 17 minute video, but even the little ones where watching with eyes wide open. They were hoping that they could see an explosion(of course, the little maniacs) but they did get to earn a patch for scouts...which every mother knows is the most important part!

We love the mine too!!! Keith and Nicci were the first to take our kids and since I had never been, the kids took me later! It was great!
