Summer Field Trips

Brandon started working a really great schedule this summer. The type of schedule that makes you take your 4 very loud kids and leave the house while he sleeps because you can only scream quietly for so many hours of the day. So we started going on field trips. We went to Kennecott it was a huge hole if you haven't been before, the kids thought it was great for the most part and Bronson thought the bus load of Chinese tourist were the best part. Oakley LOVED LOVED LOVED the gift shop/single wide trailer stuffed with overpriced crap and Bridger was pretty sure they weren't digging the mine right. I was just glad that it was windy and that Chinese people don't speak blunt 5 year old language.


Brody, wanted to climb the railing everytime he seen this sign.

Yes - the gigantic hole in the ground was fascinating and it took 45 minutes to get there so it was like a real DESTINATION. Tell Oakley that the gift shop was my favorite part too.

Is whisper yelling as effective as the real thing?

We used to do "silent screaming" in the car when the trips got too long. You can make some really great faces when you are silent screaming.


Oakley really looks like a super model. I hope she has the skills to fight off bulemia that comes with super-modeling...

My husband drives one of the haul trucks in the mine. It is pretty impressive. Those trucks are the size of a large 2 story house.
