We took an awesome trip to Ruggles Mine today. We loaded up Grampy Don’s big old truck and headed out. The drive turned out to be longer and more interesting than we were expecting, but we arrived eventually, just in time to have lunch. Then down into the mine we went! There was tons of shiny minerals and rocks. Eve is a HUGE rock collector. My car is generally filled with rocks. She picks them up everywhere we go, regardless of whether they are “wild” rocks or “cultivated” rocks that someone has paid good money to properly place. Eve will heist them and bring them home. She was in heaven here! We originally said she could take what she could carry, but we had barely entered the mine when her bag was heavier than she could carry. I loved her enthusiasm so I happily volunteered to carry her bag. We all had a great time!

Sorry for the gallery view. I don’t normally like this format, but there are a lot of pictures and it’s tired and I’m late. <-- Hahaha, yep, that's it!
