The End is Near

Well it is now officially two weeks until I come home! My internship is actually going by faster than expected. I'm really excited to see my family and friends soon and start doing some fun summer things instead of working.

This week went pretty well. I had two DFD's, one at the BB quarry and one at the BS quarry. The BB quarry is not an enjoyable quarry. It has really crappy bone and the quarry is dying slowly. In about a year, they will probably have no more bone coming out of it. Anyway, it was still an alright day because the weather wasn't too hot and the family from Texas was nice. 

Yesterday we had a 6 person DFD with the grandparents, parents, a 7 year old, and a 2 year old. I loved the kids! They were so cute and well-behaved. I kept the 2 year old occupied by having him help me clean the quarry with a dust pan and broom. The whole family was really awesome and they thanked us over and over for being such good guides. We also got a really nice tip! :)

When the DFDs go smoothly and everyone enjoys themselves, that is what makes the job really worthwhile and fun. However, sometimes you get those days where everything seems to go wrong. Today was one of those days! I broke off the end of a rib bone because I stepped on it, I didn't get much sleep, it was 90 degrees and the sun was strong today, and I had a shovel-ready dig in the afternoon. The two little boys were cute and interested in paleo, but it was extremely hot and I was crabby today. Anyway, it is now the weekend for me! Sunday is river rafting, so hopefully I can post some pictures from my friends waterproof camera. Below is wind river canyon, where we will be rafting in!
