Shovelin' and Puzzlin'

The sun came out today. Many hands make light work!
Although there wasn't much light about this work, good hard work never hurt anyone (and Joey and I appreciate the work out at our age!). It also gave opportunity to convince the kids to keep their grades up so they could get to college and not be limited to manual labor to provide for their future and families!

Wish I had taken before and after pictures!
In between the diggin' out we had this going on inside!
It was a really great puzzle for all ages. Not too difficult but challenging at the same time. And really fun to see come together as we have been and/or plan to go to many of these places.

But... half way through this puzzle, I found a duplicate piece. One was cut just a little better to fit the picture but there was no doubt it was a double. We wandered if we would be short a piece but kept working. In the end we were relieved to have a complete puzzle plus one piece. The boys got curious and counted the number of pieces, it was 27 x 37 pieces. That made 999 pieces, so we figured they threw the extra one in to make it 1000 and it kept them honest as advertised! Who knows but it sure was kinda funny.
