Fun With Bop and the Digger!
Wow, did two of our grands have a great time on the digger with Bop this weekend!!! There was a HUGE old pine tree that had been damaged by lightning many, many years ago and was hollow in the middle. The more pressing problem was that it was located right smack in Tonya's front yard. Seeing the problem and the need to use guy tools, Tonya's boyfriend decided to cut it down about two weeks ago. That posed a problem. What in the world do you do with an old pine tree the size of that one?
Finally, Bop decided that he would dig a gigantic hole and bury said tree. Because of the size and weight of said tree, the hole would have to be close to the tree and so would have to be in Tonya's back yard. Because it was Easter weekend Baker and Sidney just had to come to our house and hunt eggs. When those kids saw the digger sitting there, it almost ended the possibility of an egg hunt. For the next few hours they "helped" Bop dig a humungus hole and put the tree in it.
Finally it was time to hunt eggs - lots and lots of eggs! 110 eggs in all and 2 kids. The best part was that every egg was filled with a fun surprise. They were not sure which was more fun, driving the digger or finding eggs filled with toys, chocolate candy and money. They had to go home and visit with the other grandparents before Bop made the big bonfire in the hole. I must say it was a real sight to see, and didn't take very long to burn up.

Sidney is hiding her eggs behind her so the tiny little turtle cannot get them. You can barely see it quickly crawling off the bricks in front of her. This was her first turtle sighting and she was totally consumed by it.
