We had made a quick trip to the Landscaping Supply Store and loaded up with a yard of dirt to fill in some areas in the back yard. Then we turned the kids loose to play in it for awhile in between trips to the backyard. I busied myself cleaning and organizing the garage -- a never-ending task for us -- while snapping a few pictures here and there.
Assessing the situation before "digging in:"
It wasn't long before they gathered shovels (snow shovels, that is), a rake and some buckets:
Loading it into a small trailer to be pulled into the backyard:
Definite teamwork:
Jack started filling his own personal bucket, by hand:
Someone was getting a bit tired:
But when his daddy jumped in the scene, he perked right up and got back to work:
That dirt was so tempting ...
Afterwards, I think that it goes without saying that the kids stripped down and got in the tub immediately upon entering the house. After a fresh bath and clean clothes -- and a good lunch -- those kids took great afternoon naps ...
Happy Dirt Day!
