Copper Mine Field Trip
Kennecott Copper Mine
We actually did this a while ago but I thought the pictures got lost so I didn't post it. Luckily they appeared so now I get to put it up. We took Kalei to the Copper Mine that is up the road from our house. It was rather impressive to see for a first timer. Kalei really enjoyed the all the machines and big trucks. Watching them do their work and dump all the dirt. We walked through the museum after and she of course was thrilled my the displays of trains and trucks. It was the highlight for her. Before leaving we went to the gift shop to see if we could find something fun to remember our trip. After touching all she could, Kalei decided that she like the magnet rocks. She also made some smashed pennies with Daddy.
It was really neat to take a field trip to come place close to home. We wanted to go see the Thomas train but gas it too expensive and a 10 minute drive worked rather than on hour. But the mine was cool and will be something we will have to see again.
Kalei poses by an old train cart. She liked the fact that it had big rocks in it.
She got excited by the big train display.
One of displays of toy trucks that they use at the mine.
Another display of trucks used at the mine.
She was trying to decided what she wanted. The hat was a good choice but the price was a good story!

These are the three smashed pennies that Kalei got to make with Kalei. She likes to play with the monies.
