Dayle visits the Zucc family!

Our trip to Utah's Dixie was fun, but the days following were significant for me and Grandma Zucc.  Monday morning Dayle Jr. arrived for a week's stay with us.  We discovered, to our delight, that he had turned into a nice, responsible young man with a great since of humor.  We had always known that he would be successful some day, because of the great training given to him by his parents, the BSA, and his church, but frankly we were a little apprehensive as to what a 15 year old, may want to do during a week's stay with us.  After all, we are both over 65.  

From the time he met us at the airport and throughout the week, he was more than helpful, running a variety of errands, and working odd jobs for his Zuccy Grandparents.  I was particularly impressed with the job he did painting our garage.  It took him three days, working before noon, in the cool of the morning, to finish the job, and he did this with a smile on his face.  I enjoyed working with him too, as his since of humor kept me entertained. 

     

During the week, when we worked we worked hard, and when we played we played hard.  Every day, to my delight, we played table games.  He was happy doing this, and I was happy he didn't expect me to go hiking, repelling, or sky diving, or some other sort of "high adventure" activity.  Ha ha.  The closest I got to high adventure was watching Men in Black III in an air conditioned dollar theater.  

On Thursday, after we totally finished the garage job, I took Jr. and Erin out to visit the Kennecott Copper pit.  Traffic was stopped in both directions, for mining activities, at the entrance for about a 30 minutes. Erin decided to go rock hunting along the roadside for pyrite.  Little did she know that I was going to take this photo!  

The hilarious thing about the above photo is that I think that she was totally oblivious to the sign, but hey, ignorance is bliss.  She was not caught, and she did get some really nice pieces of pyrite.  She has to have gotten the "rock hunting" bug from me.  Ha ha. 

Friday, we took off for Brianhead Ski Resort near Parowan,  for a fun-filled and relaxing weekend at the Davis cabin.  They are such nice people to let us visit once-in-a-while.  Dayle was particularly excited to see his Cousins.

   

This particular weekend adventure deserves to have a posting        all of it's own, so be sure to check back in a few days.
