In Which Dad Learns to Use a Backhoe Thingy

Last week, Dad and Joe did some creek maintenance... or something. Dad rented "the yellow thing" and dug out the creek so the water would flow more smoothly. (yes, we had permission from the fish & wildlife people!)

It was really interesting because Dad had never driven a thing like that before... and I'm still not sure what to call it. It's like a backhoe... only... smaller.

Any ideas on what I should be calling it? I can't remember!!



Meanwhile, Joe enjoyed goofing on the tractor!

Two-man job. For sure! They had some system going - and I'm not sure what was going on. All I know is that Dad was on the yellow thing, Joe was on the tractor, and there was a lot of talking amd moving and splashing!

So!!

    I think it is called an Excavator, and they are Awesome, wish I had enough land that I could use one.
