The Mining Expo

I can't believe it but the Mining Expo was in full force the other day (it seems like we just went not to long ago) and we made it down to the Convention Center to see all the booths and what all the latest and greatest is when it comes to mining stuff. For the most part it was pretty cool. There were lots more booths there this year than there has been in previous years and lots more people browsing around but it was still fun.

Walking into the expo

This crusher was so neat to watch. He was taking large pieces of concrete and crushing it up into small pieces of gravel.

 Mac was showing us how they maneuver all their heavy/large tires out at the mine on this machine. Pretty interesting!

 Chillin on one of the work buses! Before Mac went into management he would ride to and from work on one of these buses. The boys thought it was pretty cool to be on one of dad's work buses

.

 I am not sure what this machine is or even what it does but the boys really liked it and its tracks.

 Just about each booth had a bowl of candy sitting on their table and anyone could help their selves to how ever much they wanted and of course the boys got their fair share. Bry didn't let it hit the bottom of his bag for to long. You would think that I never feed them cause that is all they wanted to eat was all of their candy!

Mac knew lots of people at the Expo. So he stopped and chatted a lot!

 Most of the booths were outside and as the morning went on it got a little warm out so Bry found some shade and took a break.

Another great year at the Mining Expo!
