Fact of the Week

Fact of the Week: Who Was the First Female Actor? Margaret Hughes may have been the first professional actress in England. The occasion of her first performance was on 8 December 1660, in a production of Shakespeare's play Othello, when she played the role of Desdemona in a production by Thomas Killigrew's new King's Company at their Vere Street theatre. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Hughes

Bingham Canyon Copper Mine

Fun activity week two was a trip to the Kennecott Copper Mine. It has been a while since we have visited this place. If it is possible, it is even bigger. It is the only manmade structure (other than the Great Wall of China) that can be seen by astronauts orbiting the Earth. Here is one of the wheels from the dumptrucks they use. Huge!!!

Alee and Boston came with us. We had to take two pics!! If you look close, it is a funny face pic.

Here is an action shot. All of them are looking into the mine cart at all of the cool rocks!

Here is one of the superhuge dump trucks. My camera is on the fullest zoom.

Here is a look at the side of the mine. It stretches on and on and on.....

My camera is on the widest angle I have and I still couldn't fit the mine all the way in. Pay attention to the left side of the pic. About three fourths of the way up you can barely make out a building on the side. It is the crusher factory (my name for it.)Here it is on full zoom. Check that out!


Here is a toy replica of the same factory in the visitor's center.

Boston found the trucks! His favorite!

He wanted a hug from Topher. It is so funny because Topher isn't used to having one littler than him, we kind of had to tell him what to do.

Dogpile!!!

They got free buttons from the visitor center.

After the mine, we had a picnic in the park, then came back home for some swimming time!



This is a cute pic!



We had a great time! Thanks to Alee and Boston for joining us!
