Empire Mine

A couple weekends ago we went to visit an old mine up in Grass Valley. It is called Empire Mine. It was really neat to see how things worked in the mine. It is no longer a working mine and is now a state park. The kids really enjoyed exploring all over and were really excited about all the equipment that was displayed.
It really was neat to see. The equipment they used was so big. Kaeryn liked hearing the history part and Tristan was so excited about all the equipment. He would exclaim "You got to see this!" It was very fun to watch the kids.
This is looking straight down into the mine. They have it blocked off so you can't go down any further and that was fine with me. But It was amazing to look down into it. We couldn't imagine going down there each day. I would miss the sun to much. It made me grateful for the job Ron has and that i'm able to always know what's going on when he's away. It was a very good learning experience. And a place I can see us going back too.

You all are definitely the adventures family. So many fun places you have been to.
Hope you are all doing well. I hear you had a good visit with mom and dad and the kids did not want them to leave.
Have a good night!
