Moving Sandbags

The day before yesterday my grandparents came over and started Thanksgiving-visiting us, and yesterday Papa (That's what Ruth and I call our grandfather on Mom's side) and Dad got a big enormous pickup truck and brought LOTS of sandbags to our neighborhood. Papa rented an excavator and started digging big-ol' diches everywhere to prevent flooding. they also made big walls out of the sandbags; you should have seen it Ruth, Nana, (that's what we call our grandmother on Mom's side) and I were in the pickup truck, Ruth and Nana tying the sandbags, me putting them in reach of people on the ground, and Dad, Papa, and Mom bringing them down the driveway. It was quite an assembly line.
