Barrick Gold Work Party

From what I've seen so far, Jeff's company has great work parties. We just went to their summer family party last Friday up at This is the Place Monument, the "place" being the spot where Brigham Young looked out across the valley and proclaimed that was where the Mormons would stop and settle.  I'd always wondered what was up there, but not enough to throw down cash to see.  They have a petting zoo, ponies to ride, an area to pan for gold, as well as lots of pioneer era buildings.  They had a nice catered dinner and it was a fun to meet some more of the people Jeff works with.

Iris fell in love with this short, heavily pregnant little goat.  She stayed right near her for half an hour and wouldn't stop giving her hugs!

World's most patient goat.

My happy little panners!

Good thing it's not done this way much today or we'd be broke :)
