Mining Museum

Don't you just love Groupon? Sean's parents found a Groupon for the Western Museum of Mining and Industry. It's practically down the street from their home and they've never been. So off we went.

Bottles? That doesn't look like "Mining." It was a bar display. So this must represent the "Industry" side of the museum.

Ah, oil. That's more Mining-like.

I wonder why this gauge needed a curlicue.

IMG_9740e
Three gauges. This thing must be important.

A good ol'-fashioned pulley. That's how you get work done.

I don't think Liam is quite ready to commit to a life as a miner.

Dash got to hear a lengthy spiel on the history of physics.

IMG_9786e
Whoa, watch out, dynamite!

Who wants to push the plunger?

Say, this would have been a better picture for Father's Day, huh?

IMG_9818e
Ah, it's nice to be outside.

IMG_9830e
Watch out, babies!

IMG_9836e
My demure children.

This'd be a lovely family portrait, except... SUNGLASSES. womp womp.

IMG_9840e
This is a better representation of our goofy family.

IMG_9872e
Rusty metal makes the best playthings!

IMG_9891e
I'm going to hire that painter.

IMG_9897e
A little bonding moment.

IMG_9899e
Does this make other people think of Mario Kart?

IMG_9915e
But... where does it go?

IMG_9945e
Liam's pulling the reins.

IMG_9918e
It's so amazing the contraptions people come up with.

IMG_9939e
My pensive mom-in-law.

IMG_9923e
We need to get those babes some shades so they can be cool too.

IMG_9954e
Mining Museum, a success.
