Backhoe with Papa

On Monday, when we came through Logan, we had to stop up at the Logan Cemetary to visit Papa Douglas. Papa had been digging graves for many years up at the cemetary. He has amazing skills when it comes to using a backhoe!
Clayton loves tractors and trucks right now. A few weeks ago, he saw my Uncle Clair driving a tractor down the street and ever since then, he gets so excited when he sees anything that resembles a tractor. He lets off this cute little squeal and then points to it.
Well, when we got up to the cemetary, Papa was nice enough to take the time to pull the backhoe out of the garage and take the boys for a spin around the cemetary. They both thought it was pretty amazing! He also let the boys pull the gears back and forth to make the scoop move up and down.
After that, he took the boys into the shop where they got to sit on the riding lawn mowers and pretend they were driving them. They also got to play with the snow plows. They had a great time playing in the garage with Papa. Thanks Papa for taking the time out of your day to show the boys what you do each day! They love you very much and are lucky to have you as their Papa!
