Bingham Copper Mine

Decided to take the kids to the Bingham Copper Mine. I hadn't been there since I was a kid, so I was pretty excited to go too.

Cady, Austin (Cullen's friend), Laci, Cullen, & Landon
This is a tire from one of the dump trucks that works the mine.


That is one BIG mine!!!
The largest open pit mine in the world to be precise.





Kids had fun looking through microscopes at all the diffent minerals mined there.

SO fun! My school has been on field trips there but I never went. I want to go sometime. What a great way to fill the long summer days...
