Spiderman Obsession!

Isn't that just the cutest?!?!

Spiderman beating up daddy!

Cash has really been into Spiderman lately so when i saw the costume in his size at Walmart i snatched it up.  Never in a million years did i ever think he would become attached to it!  Last year we drug him to the Fall Festival kicking and screaming because he didn't want to wear his costume!  lol  I paid for it, he was going to wear it!  Well i didnt really know how it would go this year but i figured it would take a lot of convincing.  Boy was I WRONG!  He has worn it almost all week, with the exception of sleeping in it and going to PDO in it.  Lets hope it doesnt fall apart by the time Halloween rolls around!!

First Day of PDO 2011

He is such a big boy!

Looking up the elevator shaft.  Has to go 600ft to get to the next level

The elevator that could carry 6 men and their drills

Joe demonstrating drills that they used.  Wow it was loud and there was only one drill being used!  Normally there were 30 being used at one time! 

Joe, our Mine Tour Guide
He was a minor himself until the 80's when he retired.  

Going in the mine. It took us 1/3 of a mile in the mountain and in that 1/3 of a mile we gained 8ft in elevation.

Ready!!!

Is that not the cutest little miner you have ever seen!!!!

Panning for gold!

Who does this picture look like to you?  lol  I guess Ryan was a miner in his former life!
