At a recent Overmohle family reunion, grandson Dylan, was thrilled with all the heavy equipment parked near the shelter house due to street renovations in town. He wanted to spend almost all of his time near them, and Papa (Mike) obliged and started teaching him the names of the equipment. Dylan's favorite was the back hoe. He learned the name very quickly. Later in the afternoon, we all wanted to have a picture of Great-Grandpa and all the great-grandchildren that were there.

After it was done, Dylan wanted to go back over to the equipment, so Papa told him that if he said "backhoe" they could go over. The words didn't come out. Papa tried again and still the words wouldn't come out, so no move was made to walk to the backhoe. Dylan, thinking I'll show you, grabbed great-grandpa's hand and led him to the equipment.


And do you know what Dylan said when Papa got over there?? He looked right at him and said BACKHOE!! There's more than one way to get what you want.
