South Haven: Construction!!!

Just across the easement from us was an open lot with a giant hole in the middle of it.  As it turns out, they had recently torn down the house that had been there and were preparing to build a new one in its place.  Most people would be disappointed that there was a construction site across from their vacation rental house ... of course, most of those people would be adults.

The goings on across the way ended up being huge entertainment for the kids.  They saw an excavator, a backhoe loader, a dump truck, and a cement truck all up close and all at work.

They even talked to the guy who ran the excavator and said goodbye to it the day it finished up.

By the time we left, they had started pouring the footings for the foundation of the house.  The kids loved all the action and didn't mind the noise nearly as much as the adults did.  But, at least for me, seeing the excitement on their faces made the noise seem more like music and less like an intrusion.  So it goes with little ones.
