For those of you reading this, I am closing in on catching up with our current life- This blog entry will be about events that took place in March - so, I'm only one month behind & closing fast. At the beginning of March Cameron came out to Utah to help Lindsay & Colby get home on the plane. So now with the house quiet, what do we do?? Leave again, of course. We needed to have our taxes done by our regular tax accountant in California (mostly because of all the monies associated with the severance & retirement) - So, we drove to Calif. because we would need to bring Mason back with us. There was a huge snow storm expected that weekend, so we loaded up with books on tape, & headed the southern route thru Las Vegas & up to Antioch. Since we were coming in from the south, we drove by Modesto. Roger was kind enough to stop there so that I could visit Cris Rawe's grave (my best friend who died of a brain tumor 13 years ago) Since we've moved to Utah, this might be the last time I'd get to visit.
We arrived in Antioch just in time to go see Zach compete in his very first Pinewood Derby.
And, even better, we got to see him WIN !!! Congratulations Zach!
On Sunday we got to see Arie in her new dress looking so cute...
Then, after having been there for only 3 days, we left to go back to Utah. Mason had to do a job shadow/internship for school & he really wanted to do it at the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi, UT. So, we arranged for him to do it & took him back with us, and then he would fly home to his family after his 3 days in Utah. Both quick trips !
Mason had met Rick, the Paleontologist there, a couple of times before- but now he would be working with him all day - 10am to 3pm for a couple of days. He was thrilled!
He got to work on an actual bone imbeded in sandstone. It took him 2 days, but he finally extracted the entire bone. He worked around the museum in the various exhibits too. At the end, Rick sent him home with several bones, & cast impressions, and he was a very happy camper! He is the only student ever to leave the state to do an internship. Way to go, MASON!
