Isak's New Digger

 My brother and his wife came to visit from Rexberg this weekend and Mark brought with him something for Isak he has been working on for a while. Mark is a mechanical engineering major and works in the engineering shop on campus. He got some scrap pieces of metal together and welded some things and made Isak the most awesome contraption for our backyard.
 Its a digger that he can sit on and pick up dirt and other stuff and move around. Mark made the box for it and painted it for Isak. It is so cool! Isak LOVES it and I think that Mark will now have to make one for any future children he will have someday...
 It took a little while to assemble but Isak was happy to lend any assistance he could.
 Isak has been practicing with it and is getting better and better at moving it around. It rotates 360 degrees and happens to be heavy enough that his little sister can't quite use it yet :).
This could be why my brother Mark is one of Isak's very favorite uncles. Isn't that thing awesome? I can't believe he made it. So cool.

HOLY COW! that is amazing! I've seen things like that before, but have never seen a place where you can buy them. Definitely a unique toy! Go Mark!
