That same day we made it to the Salt Mine tour (thanks Leslie for reminding us) I thought all my boys sure looked awesome in their jumpsuits, especially little EWOK Connor. It was fun dressing up like "miners"- which made us think about our friends THE MINERS... They sure have an awesome name!
We rode in on a train and the whole family slid together down the wooden rail slide that actual miners have used for making their way down into the mine shaft. The boys loved it. I was amazed at how fast it got going, but luckily it came to stop at the bottom.
Deep inside the mountain we arrived at the salt lake. We couldn't believe how crystal clear the lake appearred. We were suruprised to find out it was actually the relection from the ceiling!
It was very interesting to learn about how they excavate salt from the mountains and how once salt was sold as the same price as gold. The pictures they took inside were pretty funny of us so we got them- even though at least one person is making a crazy face-- ya gotta love it!
