Memorial Weekend

We started off the weekend with a trip to Liberty Park.  Andy had an appointment in Salt Lake so the boys and I headed to the park to ride the rides and enjoy the day.  They had such a blast riding the Ferris wheel, playing on the playground and eating cotton candy.  It was the perfect kickoff for summer.






Logan was so tuckered out after a long day he fell asleep on the stairs.
On Sunday we went to take flowers to Emma.  It was a cold and rainy day so we didn't get to spend as much time as we wanted to at the cemetery but it was nice to be able to take her flowers.

Then on Monday we didn't have any plans so the boys and I decided to head to the Bingham Copper Mine.  It was so cold that day and I didn't realize how high up the mine was.  When we got to the mountain there was snow on the ground.  The boys loved seeing all the monstrous trucks and the miles and miles of road within the deep cavern.  The most exciting part of the day was when we were evacuated from the visitors center.  We still are not sure what caused the evacuation but we were glad that it was right as we were getting ready to leave.

Right as I snapped this picture the park ranger approached us.  I thought we were in trouble for getting in the bucket.  She just nicely told us they were evacuating the mine and couldn't give anymore details. YIKES!!!
