Labor Day

We had such a great Labor day. We went to visit the Kennecott Copper Mine. It was actually so interesting. I have been there before, but I liked it so much more taking my boys to see it. They were fascinated with everything they saw. They all decided they want to work there when they grow up :)
They had these great microscopes for the kids to check out some of the rocks.
This picture is sort of blurry, but the boys loved this little exhibit showing all of the tractors they use at the mine. There were so many.
Can you believe the size of those wheels! The boys seriously loved this place, tractor heaven.

After the mine we went to see "Up" at the dollar theater. I have been waiting all Summer for this movie to get here! It was also 50 cent Mondays. Our entire days activities cost $7.50!
Lincoln is a watermelon-maniac.
Our "farewell to Summer" dinner.
The boys all loved getting their own bottle of soda. Doesn't that look on his face just say shear joy?
This was my creative moment of the day, is it creative if you borrow the idea from someone else? Oh well, I liked it.
Okay so major watermelon pop picture overload, but the fam loved them.
Even Palmer the watermelon-hater tried them.
And of course what Farewell to Summer party could be complete without ice cream?
