Lots of Rock

We have a ditch beside our house that is basically a huge mud hole when it rains. All the kids in the neighborhood like to ride their 4wheelers and golf carts through the ditch and sometimes through our yard. We will even catch kids playing in the ditch with good clothes on. YUCK! So to stop this mud riding through the ditch, "mean" Doug decided to order some rock to fill the ditch. Well Doug ordered 24 tons of rock and his plan was to put out all the rock by himself this weekend. I thought he was crazy and should have rented a big machine to move the rock in the ditch instead of killing himself by doing it all alone. Well look what happened when I walked outside Saturday morning to see his progress.

24 tons of rock














The neighborhood kids showed up and decided to pitch in on the help














Then the boys wanted to climb on the rock hill














So Doug had enough of that and also the kids were getting bored after a while so our neighbor, Chris, decided to offer his tractor. Whew, we were definately greatful for his assistance.














So the boys had to sit back and watch














Look how much rock we STILL have left. Ugh! We are trying to offer it to our neighbors.














But the ditch sure looks good!
