Kennecott Copper Mine

If you click on this photo, you can see the water at the bottom.
(It's the size of a football stadium.)

Last Saturday we decided to do a little afternoon trip with the kids. We went to Kennecott Copper Mine. It's so huge you can see it from our front porch. Anyway, Jake had his friend, Chase, over so he came along too. Let me just say that the photos don't do it justice. It's enormous!! To give you some idea, the little "pool" of water at the bottom of the pit is the size of a football stadium. The kids are standing in front of a tire that they use on the dump trucks. It's pretty crazy. We had a good time and it was only $5 for our whole car.




What was my kids' favorite part? Gift shop, OF COURSE!!! So if you're ever in Utah, it's worth the 20 minute drive.
