Asher's first mining convention



Asher went to his first mining convention today. Yes you heard right, mining as in digging stuff out of the ground. Jon's work, WesTech (which makes water treatment equipment) was sponsoring a booth at the annual conference of the Society for Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration and he had free passes for me and his Dad (who is works for a chemical company that supplies mining companies) to go with him. It was neat to see all the exhibits and to get the free stuff. I scored a nice bag, some band-aids, a back massager, too much candy and some pens! I think that Asher was the only baby in the entire convention center! So if someday Asher wants to be an engineer we will know why-- besides the fact that he is already reading physics books (see earlier post). Here is Asher with Grandpa Farrell.
I am REALLY proud of the great work that Jon is doing at WesTech. For a guy with a Latin degree, he is a wonderful engineer! He is learning so much and I think he is really liking it- most days:) They've asked him to come back to work for them after he does his Masters in Environmental Engineering. We aren't sure what we want to do yet, but it is nice of have options.

So we thought that was interesting that Jon works for a company that makes water treatment equipment, because Jonathan works for a company that treats water systems! We should be friends :)
