It was a fun day

Jaden's wish was to go out to the Copper Mine this summer so on Wednesday, I took the kids. Gracen, Britt and I went last fall for one of Gracen's preschool field trips, but the girls had never been. It is huge and amazing. There is a neat visitor's center (Museum) you can walk through and a cute gift shop. The girls loved all the jewelry. Gracen loved the fool's gold and Britt just wanted a package of M&M's, easy enough. We had a fun day together. I am really sad summer is coming to an end so soon. On year round school, we didn't get off until the end of June, so we really haven't had that long of a vacation. The girls will start back on August 20th, great birthday present to myself!!! Gracen will start August 27th, Kindergarten starts a week later so the teachers can have all the students come in and meet them and do first of year testing. Gracen and I will be going on August 20th, to meet his teacher and for his testing. He is so excited to start Kindergarten!

We have one more week to cram in all the things we want to do!!!

We have never been there but it looks like fun. I love the picture with all the kids standing infront of the huge wheel. They look so small in comparison.
