I took the pennies back to the scale to weigh them. They weighed 27 pounds! We will put them all in penny rolls and get them back into currculation. We checked them over to see if there were any old ones. There were no wheat pennies. The oldest we saw was 1960. We found a few nickels, dimes and a quarter. There were a few other interesting items in it too as you can see from the picture above.

I really liked reading this post! I also love to hear about your childhood. I love you!!
Wow! 27 lbs! And that Krista sun thing is really strange. I wonder where that came from?!
Wow! I loved this post, I loved reading it. I can just see little you and little Ben "stealing" pennies! :)
This one put a smile on my face! I remember where that piggy bank was in the house in Evanston! I love it when you tell us stories of when you were little! I would love to find out the story of the sun that has Krista's name on it! Weird! Love you lots!
Okay girls, The sun with Krista's name on it came from girl's camp at New Fork Lake in central Wyoming. It is from the year that Marva Seegmiller, LeRea Barker and I all stay together in our family tent. Our theme that year was "Let the Son Shine Through You" or something like that (probably a little more poetic with Marva around). We had so much fun. Erin if you weren't old enough to go, Krista B. wasn't either. So, maybe its another Krista. I have no idea why it was in Big Piggy! Maybe Krista would know.
