Empire Mine State Historic Park

Wow, it's been a long time since I've updated~I'll try to be better about it!

On the way to Empire Mine

The grounds were very pretty

huge old trees 

we were lucky enough to be given a tour~we were a big group!

being such a good girl and listening quietly!

look at the old wheel chair!

would rather stare at her hand than have her picture taken with mommy

always happy to "give five"

they quickly became great friends!

The Uncles

it was nice having such a helpful babysitter!

looking down the mine shaft!

love this picture!

what is it about kids and rocks?!

enjoying a quick snack before we leave

 Kylie did great, she loved having kids to play with and playing in the rocks was a favorite.  Everyone kept commenting on how perfect she was....then it came time to leave and she threw a huge tantrum~kicking and screaming!  She did not want to leave at all, apparently there were a lot of rocks left to explore ;)  We finally got her out to the car, though it was a struggle getting her there, and once she calmed down she was ready for a snack!
