We had some serious entertainment today. Apparently, there's something special in the ground and all throughout our neighborhood, you could see workmen digging big holes in people's front and back yards. I didn't see anything extracted and the workers were so quick and thorough they had the holes filled in no time. You could barely tell where they dug. They did our house while we were out at ballet this morning and the only way I knew they had completed it was because of the tread marks from the digger. I had a faint moment of panic on the way home that maybe they were looking for unexploded WWII ordinances and we'd come home to find that they had hit one with the digger and blown off the front of our house. I would say that's a bit extreme, but unexploded ordinances have been found all over this island. A machine gun was actually found on this base a few years ago. For those of you worried, our house was intact when we came home. Whew!
A photo op this morning. One of the workers actually picked Adam up and moved him inside the roped off area. Thankfully, he chose this time to be shy and not run straight for the hole.
After nap, we headed outside to watch them fill up some holes. Adam kept opening his mouth and saying, "ahhhh." He was mesmerized. Of course, I couldn't get that on camera.
We were even able to scoot over to Nicole's back yard and watch with friends. Good times.

I miss the little things like this about living overseas. Although, now I don't think it would entertain Arleigh and Hanan. They would be off with their ipods somewhere trying to drown out the noise.
Big machines. That's hard to resist. When I told Granny about this entry she said Grandpa Lathrom always went outside to watch workman in the area. I would say it's a guy thing, but looks like the girls are just as interested as Adam. Fun is where you find it, isn't it?
