Swimming and Mining

Today we started swimming lessons. We were so excited and did everything our teacher told us. Our teacher is Shelby Larsen and she lives down the street. We take lessons in her backyard pool.

Today we learned to do a "star" (Floating on our backs) and kick and do a bit of stroking. We got to go down the big slide and play games, too. We are gonna like swimming lessons I think.

In the afternoon after swimming lessons, we went to Kennecot Copper Mine. We looked at the huge hole in the ground created from the mining and watched huge trucks carry rocks. We got to look through large binoculars and look at them close up.


Here we all are standing in front of one of the truck tires. Told ya it was a big truck, if this is the size of the tire!
This is a view of a tailing pond by the mine.
Here y can tell how big the trucks are in comparison to the small white trucks close to them. Uncle Crae works at this mine and repairs these huge trucks. We looked for him since he was working today, but we couldn't see him.
