Over the years that Colin has worked for WaterFurnace many people have asked me about the waterfurnaces' or what he does there. Well I have to admit I don't know much about this subject, which makes Colin laugh when I tell him about questions that I can't answer:) Anyway we were able to get a first hand look at PARTof what he does for WaterFurnace. He has to dig loops for pipe to run in the ground for waterfurnaces. So we took a field trip to one of his jobs close by and watched him in action. The kids thought this was really cool! Alex was very excited to show off his dirty hand. Colin asked him to get his shovel for him so he was able to help out a little. (you will see this helpfulness in the video!) I was amazed at what goes into and how long it takes to do this. Just to give you an idea if you watch the video you will be able to see three trenches that had been dug and this was about 11:00 am. I took Courtney back at 3:30 pm and they were starting there sixth trench. Colin didn't get home that night until 6:00 pm. I hope that you all find this as interesting as I did. (By the way we now have high speed internet so hopefully I will be able to share more pictures and video about our family in the future.)

That is one big hole.
Woohoo! for high speed internet! :)
Hope ya'll are doing well.
This is surprisingly similar to my mental picture of a "dig", though it's pretty impressive to actually see it!
And look at you with fancy video!! You go girl!
When boys grow up, they still play in the dirt. They just use bigger shovels and move more of it around. :)
This was such a great, and creative idea for your family to do! Sounds exciting.
