A beach update

Time for your daily update, readers!  Eric suggested I take a few pics of the progress on his beach.  We are gonna try to get some sand in here before the snow flies, so he's been shoveling as fast as the rocks will let him (he seriously hits a rock every time he sticks the shovel into the ground - Dylan thinks its great!  more rocks to throw into the lake!).  


Oh no!  The leaves are falling off the trees!

DD trying out his beach


Throwing rocks in!
Wiping his muddy hands on some dirt - very effective.
Ooooooh, a worm!  DD says, "I like worms!"

A tender moment between father and son.

And here is your DD update:   Three funny things he said today - 
1. "Big Bird!!! Where are you??!"
2. Adios Goodbye!
3. Awesome!!

  2. Looks like you have great lake access now. Too bad it's going to get cold soon. Great dirt area Eric. Can't call it a beach yet!

  3. Not yet...now I need to buy sand and hall it down one wheelbarrow load at a time.

    Buy 15 Yards of Sand

    Typical WheelBarrow holds 6 Cubic Feet Per Load

    Converts to 0.222 Yards Per Load

    WheelBarrow Loads = 67.56756757

  4. P.S. I think you should keep track of how many loads you haul down so that we can see if your math is right.

  6. Yes, thats eric. He "claims" that he has no idea where the "greens" came from - thus, i dont know. 14 was his hockey number.
