nothing like dirt

my parents are having a huge workshop built in their backyard.  my dad is very handy and has LOTS of handy tools that need a home.  so they had this very nice workshop built.  i think it is quite pretty for a workshop.

well, as part of the building process, they had a BUNCH of dirt delivered to level out the yard. 

a bunch of dirt + 2 little boys = heaven

they had so much fun running and jumping and digging in the multiple piles of dirt.  temporarily loosing a flip flop could not even steal their joy, not even john's, who patiently dug until he recovered the missing shoe.

ahhh, the simple pleasures of life.
