Well I actually got a nice cool day to go out in the pond and get back to digging. So i took advantage of it, threw a coat on the Boy and we got to work. But first we had to clear a few stray toys who made their way in the pit.
While I was digging Bennett grabbed the camera and started snapping away…
Actually started off good at first, but then he floated off into his own little world and started snapping randoms… Ah the world through the eyes of a child….
Took a pic of him with my phone...Too fun…
So I took the camera from him after he decided to get a little too close to the rocks with the lens.
And got a few more pics of him, he found a rock and a little spiky ball… lol
And he threw them…
After a bit, he lost interest in the dig… seems like everyone around here is, so we decided to hire that excavation crew I said I would never get…
Took a bit of a break to play with him, nothing like old metal Tonkas and good old fashioned dirt!!!
Also had some time to do his own excavating in the sand box…
Pretty much stopped digging and took him out to ride his little bike around a bit.
We did manage to have a small accident today though, I knew it was coming and luckily it happened after he was riding bike so he was wearing a his helmet… He fell in the hole, flat on his butt... Usually things don't bug this little guy too much. He's a tank, but this one shook him up for a sec… even left a nice little scratch on his lower back… but after I got him up and out of the whole, patted off the dirt, had him walk to make sure nothing was broken, he was all smiles again….
So I went work and he went back to snapping pics…
Managed to find another gigantic rock and after I dug it out and lifted it out I called it a day…
Had to dig down 5' to pry it out but I got it… and I'm at 4' minus my step out area!!!
Stay tuned….
