GIANORMOUS MOTH


Just an FYI - this is Jason's hand, I do not have man hands! :-)
When we came home from a drive up East Fork Pass we had this amazing moth perched on our door handle. What a privilege it was to hold. Our children's eyes were so big and they were very curious. It was a great teaching moment.

OUR PRECIOUS 3







PANNING FOR GOLD

After a tour through the 100 Year Gold Mine, Dad and the kids panned for gold and sliver. Cora found a small bit of silver in the first 5 minutes. We all continued panning for another 30-40 minutes but to no avail. Cora is the precious metal magnet in the family. Hummmm - this could be good. : )

OLD 100 GOLD MINE TOUR



A day at the mines... This was an amazing tour - if ever in Silverton Colorado be sure to visit this incredible town feature. This living/working museum is well worth the drive. What a fun educational experience. I love living in Colorado! (Sorry, the pics are not in order.)
