Fun with big machines.

This post is about yard work. Try to contain your excitement.

We were talking to our friends about how we wanted to bury our trampoline. Peter was explaining that we could rent an excavator for not much but he doesn't really know how, or want to run one. Well, Nick apparently loves that kind of stuff and offered to help. He was so excited he probably would have paid for it too!:)





We got our retaining wall built. Our yard is sloped so we had to make a flat spot for the tramp.










Nick "working" on the hole...notice in the corner, Peter lounging in a chair watching:)








He even took some time to give the kids a ride.








Putting the trampoline back together. Actually getting it in the hole and making sure it was level and had proper drainage etc... was suprisingly much harder than we were expecting.








All finished! The boys like to run from the side of the house and jump off the wall and flip onto the tramp. I have no doubt someone will end up breaking something at some point with that fun trick.
