Just about buried the Volvo excavator and all caught on camera by my amateur camera crew

[@Jameson4327]

DP I am very proud of you! The problem with our nation nowadays there’s isn’t as many fathers that aren’t teaching their kids the proper things to do in life. You have my vote! Oh I can’t believe these two young kids! I am loving their conversation between the two of them. I am totally laughing my tail off.

[@thomasdesmond2248]

I love how brutally honest kids are. He said he didn't want to mess up your property. But he's messing it up right now. I almost died laughing. God bless

[@bigjim5723]

i liked that too. ha!

[@travismarett7100]

Gunner is on point with resources also. This is the only excavator we have available at the moment. That's asset appropriation. Maybe he will run that business one day.

[@thomasdesmond2248]

Happy Birthday ! Your son did a great job filming and I love the commentary by the boys 👍

[@59catmando28]

I love seeing the little men on the job. Learning work ethic at a young age is a valuable lesson for our youth. You and Chris are both excellent parents!

[@TheVitorgoncalves]

I liked listening to the conversation between the two little engineers talking about the strategy on how to do the work....good job guys ,,,,,

[@garybouchard827]

So nice to see you and Chris teaching your kids about what you do and what it mean to work. I went and did everything with my dad from the time I could walk. God bless you both

[@wesleyfranzen6675]

Same! Only rule my dad had for us kids to come along was that he wasn’t changing a diaper on a jobsite, been working with him ever since, and I’m well into my thirties, with him working for me now. Gonna have to implement the same rule here in a few more years! 😜

A little dirt in my coffee this morning is always a good thing... Father son bonding time on dad's birthday,.. and digging Dirt?? It's days like this father and son will remember this forever. Awesome video... Happy belated birthday Mike... 😎👍

[@metro_ss]

The commentary was the best!!! Love seeing the boys get involved.

[@adventuresinlandservice6656]

I think it’s awesome getting your kids involved. Whether they end up in the business or not, there are tons of important lessons to be learned for them that they will never learn in school. Keep on keeping on and God bless.

[@jacksak]

Listening to those two kids talk with each other about the work was great. And, it's a perfect example of how they learn jobs... good to see!

Its all Bubba Dump's fault !

[@grantlister]

Hey, just had an idea. 💡 When Gunner’s sitting in the cab, with you, you could let him sit his hands on the joysticks with you. Then he’d learn the controls, just by repetition & muscle memory. Eventually you will be able to let him do the moving, then next step, take your hands off completely! 😎 Love the content. Kia Kaha, Grant from NZ

[@davisphillips7792]

Absolutely loved the voiceover commentary! The boys are loving being outside, playing with giant toys, and being with their dads!!! No one could ask for more

Nice to see Farmer Chris in your video Mr Dirt Perfect

[@Ford363Stroker]

Those two boys speculating on whether or not you would get stuck and how stuck you were was the highlight of the video! Great project.

[@DirtPerfect]

Agree

[@billamick2338]

Gotta love when you get to take your kids to work with you. Brought a smile to my face watching both of the boys giving the big boys a hand at getting the pipe laid in correctly. Keep up the great work and bring them with y'all as much as you can as I know you love it when they are with you.

Got to take my hat off to you and farmer Chris taking the time to work with your kids. It's a trait that's almost unheard in today's society. God Bless 💛

Happy Belated Birthday Mike, Gunner is a Treat to have on your Vidja’s. I Remember Holding my Young Son between my Legs while trying to Operate an Excavator. He’s 32 Now and a Successful Foreman @ a Utility Company. Time never Stands still, before you know it their Grown and all you’ve got are the Memories. Catch you on the next one, Keep It Safe Out There Gentlemen.

[@darrenblattner2508]

At Gunner's age kids are like sponges, they learn more than you think and remember it for life. On the job training at that age is the best thing you can do for any kid. When I was his age I was in the grader with my Dad, never forgot it. Keep up the good work and Keep smilin.

[@kenwillis8487]

Very true comment! I learned a lot about hard work, also learned a side of my dad I didn’t like. I hated going to work with him because of his ethics and personality at work and home vs church, very two faced! But I don’t regret it now as I learned basic plumbing and electrical as well as framing and general carpentry! Also learned basis auto mechanics which steered my career path early on! It’s crazy looking back though on the moment where I knew right from wrong and realized that very different side of my dad!

[@ProudPapaw88]

Happy Birthday,DP!! Great video. Loved hearing your camera crew discussing whether you was gonna be stuck or not lol. Thanks for sharing!!

Happy birthday Mike. I was a little bit worried that you might be stuck there for a minute but you were able to pull yourself out. I like that you and Chris had your sons out there teaching what life is all about. Maybe in a few years you and your son will be out there tag teaming these jobs.

This video was heart warming. Brought back good memories. I was 12 when my grandpa put me on a HD5 Allis-Chalmers. I spent all day just going back and forth keeping his dump area cleared while he dug with the old Detroit powered Drott 40 excavator. I’ll never forget that day. He was one of the old timers that spent many years running machines like Diesel Creeks Lorain.
