If you give a Dad a shovel

If you give a dad a shovel, he might get up early one Saturday and dig a big hole in the front yard. When he digs the hole, he will realize there's a major sprinkler pipe in his way. He will cut and re-route the sprinkler pipe and keep making the hole bigger.

When the hole is big enough, he will encourage the children to climb inside of it so they will get all muddy, much to the delight of the children and much to the un-delight of the laundress.

After working most of the day, the hole will look like this. The Dad has had so much fun playing with tools all day, mixing concrete, measuring, leveling, cutting, gluing and pretty much feeling like a manly-man. That was on Saturday.

And then we waited. And waited. And the weather did not cooperate. So we colored eggs......

And climbed trees.....

And then FINALLY, one day, the hole has a purpose!

And now we're shooting 3's and dunking slams. ( I might have embellished that last part a little).

And that is what happens when you give a Dad a shovel.

Bring your A game and come on over!
