Joe's reaction: "NO, NO, NO!!! We're going to have a half-finished hole in our backyard!!"Of course I have to prove him wrong (is he playing mind games with me?).

My plan is to dig the hole first, and then get the trampoline... to keep the kids motivated. Winter was a really good helper tonight with her little shovel.
