Kennecott Copper Mine

for the longest time i have wanted to go visit the kennecott copper mine in bingham canyon. i have always seen it on the fartherst west side of salt lake county and been intrigued. turns out i was interested for reason, its amazing. brooke and dustin went out there last summer as a joke and told us how cool it actually was. they have been telling us for a while that we needed to take jude out there to see the tractors. trevan didn't really want to go but i think he was glad he did. who knew that a copper mine could be so cool?

p.s. did you know the 2 man made things you can see from space are the great wall of china and kennecott?

i had to post the pictures. jude threw the biggest tantrum when we didn't buy him a tractor (they were WAYYYYYY over priced). he was crying so hard he was blowing bubbles out of his nose and would not get in his car seat. so i dug threw my purse and found a tractor and asked jude if he wanted mommie to buy him a tractor, sobbing he answered "essssss". so i went back into the gift shop with tractor in hand asked the clerk for a bag and walked back out to car and handed jude the bag. needless to say he was happy the rest of the drive home. i felt redeemed in my skills as a mother.
