So while we were in St. George grandpa Dan invited the boys to come down to his warehouse place. I guess that is what it is. He built it and now rents out the units. Anyway one of the businesses were getting a shipment in with huge crates and Dan was renting a forklift. He knows my boys and knew they would absolutely go crazy over seeing all this. So we showed up and the truck driver had just gotten there and hadn't even gotten the tarps off the trailer. Cody was sitting in the front seat of the car with me just watching this truck driver. The driver noticed Cody and came over to the car and said to Cody, "hey kid, you want a job?" Cody just sat there being shy and not sure if I would tell him it was okay. Once I told him sure go ahead he jumped out and Franz (the driver) put Cody to work picking up all the bungees that had been holding down the tarps. Cody was so excited. He did that so fast and Franz paid him 5$ for that. I was ready to jump out and get to work. Jeez! Then Cody just kept helping and helping. He wouldn't quit and Franz loved his help. In the end Cody made 10$. This guy was so impressed with Cody and his work abilities. He then had Cody fill a bucket of water for the truck engine. Then showed Cody the engine and the cab. They were a good team. Cody still has not spent his money. He is saving it. I am very proud of him. It was a great first job experience. Now he keeps asking me when can he operate a backhoe? Those are his exact words!
