Older brother Ben was bored when we went over to my parents house, so we (Ben, older sister and me) took the kids up to the copper mine nearby. I don't know what the "pull" is over a giant hole in the ground, but if it keeps my kids happy and occupied, then I will gladly pay for it, lol.
We watched the giant trucks driving up and down the hole, then took a picture in front of the giant wheel that they have out there for tourists to take a picture with.
Then, it was time for the museum.
I think it's a given that my boys were in heaven! At one point we rounded a corner and in front of us was several display cases of all of the different kinds of trucks and vehicles the employees used. Upon seeing this, Jeff bent down and let out a huge, delighted, "OH, GOSH!" And ran over to it. In his excitement, he bonked his head several times against the case and the drill bit display nearby. Luckily, the case and drill bit are okay, lol.
I tried to get him to look at the other displays, but he always came back to the vehicles display. He loves trucks, if you couldn't tell. So we went next door to the gift shop to buy some souvenirs. Funnily enough, while the boys bought mini CATs, Vanessa bought a plush kitty with a carrying bag, lol.
Lunch from Wendy's followed, where we totally flustered the cashier with our large order (sorry!), then back to the 'rents house to eat. As we pulled up, so did the 'rents (they ran some errands), and unfortunately we didn't have food for them.
See what happens when you don't come on an adventure with us? LOL
