C: “My favorite part was seeing the backhoe help build a house.”

Do you ever find yourself looking at a construction site on the side of the road and wonder, "is that an excavator or a back hoe?".
Well, I sure do. Never noticed construction equipment before Emerson. And that's one of the coolest things about having him in my life. Things just look DIFFERENT now.
Well, I digress a bit. I was hoping this book would help me understand the subtleties of the elusive back hoe. It helps and is good for Emerson's age but I could use a bit more depth.
Good photos.

It's because of books like these that I point out a "digger" to Squirt, thinking he'll be delighted, only to hear a laconic "backhoe" from the back seat. Geez. Put me in my place.
