Uncle Jim and Aunt Chrystal took the top 6 to Idaho Springs to tour a gold mine and then pan for gold. Dotesy had to come home because she got ill on the way there. Uncle Chris found some flakes and Patrick struck gold dust. Jonathan said that gold panning is reminisant of fishing- it takes patience. Megan said, "Slow and disappointing." Although sad they didn't strike the big one, they still enjoyed hanging out with the cousins and playing in the water.
I know that gold mining runs in both sides of our family. The Mahaneys came to Georgetown looking for fortune and Jim and Orpha McGinnis first came to Colorado in Uravan looking for fortune. So far no one has hit the "mother load"!
