Did You Know...

....that visiting the copper mines is FUN? Me either! We ventured out the the copper mines with some neighbors this morning. We watched the big...okay GIGANTIC trucks haul the precious medals from the ground to the conveyor belts. We watched a movie that gave us the history of the amazing mines and were reminded that there really are some BRILLIANT people out there. We learned that over $110,000 of metal were donated to the Olympic Games 2002 for the making of the medals and that each medal weighed over 1 pound. And we learned (or were reminded) how awesome our neighborhood is! Thanks for a fun outing! And...I hit 110,000 on our way back! Yippeee!
