Mines, Memories and History

Today was a special day to me..
To all of us Robinson children mines are a very special place to us. Everytime we would come to Beaver since I can remember we always went to the mines that my GRANDPA WILF. worked in. And we all looked forward to it.
We finally got to get together with Dad and get the facts and history of the mines and all the happenings that went along with it.. Which was good cuz, it's been a very long time since I've been able to go and my history was all messed up in my head.


Croft Mine


Cody helping Colby out. Colby's still crippled in the feet..

This is as far as you can go because of the cave in. Keith has never been back this far in a mine. And it is pretty for back in there..

Creole Mine


Grandpa's new toy.. What a crazy driver!!

Lincoln Mine

A many thanks to my dad for all the memories and refreshing the history. So it won't be lost and can be past on to the next generation..

Last time I went on that tour with grandpa your kids (at least Lacey and possibly Bryce) were still small enough for me to flip them over my arm and onto my back and give them a piggy back. I love that mine tour and really want to go again. Now I'm all nostalgic about Bryce's little mischevious face and Lacee's sweet little smirk, and Eric's calming presence and cute laugh. Sheesh I can't believe we've all grown up.

Ok so back to the post. I want to go. I need to see those mines again. Thanks for reminding me!

Don't ask me why I spelled Lacee wrong. I have no good reason.
