Gone demolishin'

We can't contain our excitement: this morning our neighborhood friends the Toths knocked down their house to make way for a new home. They've been preparing for years... and it took 23 minutes to come down! (No, that's not Will driving the excavator.)
Savannah, Steven and Shawn hosted a demo party. You'd think destruction would be exciting enough, but Savannah was looking for party games, too. :) That's Harris, soon-to-be happy homeowner Amy, Shawn, Hayden, Steven, Ellie, Melissa, Savannah and Will watching the action.
Ellie digs digging, but I think she dug the donuts just as much.
Will keeps a close eye on the excavator as it dumps debris into the truck.
With the old house reduced to rubble, Ellie, Savannah, Will and Steven hang out together. We miss our friends, who are renting several blocks away. Can't wait for the housewarming next spring!
