Kenecott Copper Mine

While we were in Utah we took the kids to tour the copper mine.  It is one of the 2 man made things that can be seen from space, the other being the Great Wall of China.  It's a huge mine and so it is fitting that the tires are huge!  Even after seeing the tire and looking down at the trucks they still didn't believe those tires were that big.
It was neat to see.  I had fun explaining to my kids that this is what Grandpa Phillips did as a job my whole life growing up.  Tate loved all of the big trucks of course.
