Life was this simple?

Nice

Some of them old "Tonkas" still in the box are worth money.

They aren’t in the box but I still have them and he will be playing with them in the near future. lol

Yep, I remember doing that.He did a much better job than me though. We never had sand for soil it had to be imported. My one aunt made me wash my hands every 20 minutes I swear-I hated that.

Great little video, HT.

Very cool Hobbie……. Probably reminds most of us….. of ourselves !!!

Tell him when he uses the dozer ….. “ none of the fancy stuff—keep it flat “… That is what I was told when I started on a TD 25 a loooonnnggg time ago !! lol

Thank you folks for stop by and sharing “the grandkid stories”. Gonna share one that is a bit embarrassing.

We were on the trampoline, he had a few of his cars with him. They were rolling around and I was concerned about stepping or falling on one. I was going to take them off but that wasn’t a favorable option to him. Here is a photo of his solution…..nothing like a 3 year old reminding you to “keep it simple”. lol

3 years old and he has all the answers. Sure seems like grandpa's in for a long rough road.

lol

For some odd reason I’m more tolerant now than when my kids had all the answers.

Awesome!!!!

I love this. My boys are 14 and 11 and will still on occasion get the tractors, trucks and diggers out and play in the dirt. Especially if I dig something up and they have loose dirt to play in.

I must be lucky. When I was a kid (I'm 71, now), I always plowed up cat turds. I figured they were just logs that had to be moved.

Great music

I remember my dad building a wood sand box, with a lid, when our sand pile became contaminated by cats. We went to Moraine, to get sand. My dad wanted to buy a few buckets of sand, but when he told them it was for a sandbox for us, they just gave it to him. After we loaded the sand, we went in and he left some money on the counter anyway. That was probably around 1975.

Part of that might be because grandkids eventually go home.
