Kennecott Mine and Sparklers

So, the Kennecott mine was doing free admission for a week or so and we thought we would take the kids and go...since last year we drove up middle canyon from Tooele and saw it from the west side of the mine.
It is seriously amazing stuff!  My brain doesn't comprehend all of it, but that isn't saying much.
My kids look REALLY tiny compared to that huge tire. 
One of the old mine carts...thank goodness for technology!
And of course, since it was free...it was super busy and so they bused us into the visitor center.  My kids LOVED the bus ride.

SPARKLERS!!!
Getting Started!
Mckelle was a little nervous to, but warmed right up after figuring it all out.  Jace remember how much fun it was from last year.
The MAN behind all the fire! 
I couldn't get a pic of Jace because he was moving around so much, but I did get this cute one of Mckelle and the two of them together. 
This video will show you how accidents could possibly happen so quickly when a 2 and 4 year old have fire in their hands.  But honestly, it just makes for GREAT childhood memories.
