A Weekend Visit

Tucker popped into town for a very short but fully packed visit.  He arrived Thursday afternoon and Neal picked him up at the airport.  The drove from there to a ski rental place so Tucker could get outfitted for skiing.  When he got to the house we were all hungry so headed to the Habit for dinner.

The next morning he got up early and picked up Grayson and the two of them spent the day on the ski slopes.  Grayson snowboarding and Tucker skiing.  Tucker took a bunch of fun videos of Grayson and is going to put them together and send them to him.  They had an incredible time.  The weather certainly cooperated with Tucker's visit because it had snowed all week and snowed that day.  They couldn't drive up the canyon so they hitched a ride rather than wait for a bus they could get on.  Apparently everyone who wasn't working on Friday was headed to the mountains.

That evening Maren and her family came over and we played games and had the usual laughs.  Nothing much better for this family than gathering around the table for food and games.

 As you can see from the picture below that Tucker had Mallory, Maren and Greg spell bound with whatever he was telling them.  Well maybe spellbound is not quite the right word, maybe bored?  Just kidding.  I have no idea what the conversation was.

 Just wanted to add that I won the game.  Below would be the proof.

While Tucker was here, he and his dad went to a U of U basketball game on Thursday evening and then Saturday afternoon and evening Tucker met up with his friends from high school for dinner and another U of U basketball game.  

Sunday morning bright and early, 6 a.m., we said our goodbyes and Neal took Tucker to the airport.  It was a whirlwind visit but I'm always happy to have any visit from my son and his family.
