We drove up to Grass Valley to the Empire Mines on Saturday. It was great to get out of the heat and we absolutely loved walking through the gorgeous landscape of the mines.
The kids were fascinated by the frog pond and loved it when their dad caught a frog for them.
The kids loved ringing the (very large) dinner bell that was used to call in the miners.
Brian loved panning for gold!
Katharine caught her own tiny frog.
Elizabeth loved playing around all the beautiful plants.
Jameson kept reaching for the rocks. He threw them every chance he got. One of the funniest things to happen was when we first arrived. Jameson had fallen asleep on the drive so when he woke up and got out of the car, he looked up at the towering pine trees and said in a voice filled with awe, "Whoa, big."
Even Baby Jake had a great time. Not a peep out of him, probably because he spent most of the day in the Baby Bjorn with Mommy.
