Tunneling into a sand dune

Came across this unfortunate story that reminds me of the times in Pacific City when we tunneled into the dune.

Wellington boy killed in sand-tunnel collapse

At the time I had visions of the possibility, and I think we even had a close call once, but what a tragedy!

Something to talk with the kids about . . .

yeah we don't do big holes and tunnels anymore, not since we nearly losy Q in an accident a few years back. Burried up to his mouth! It was really scary!

Really, you were scared!!! Try being in the hole, when it's already collapsed, and still could more, but you have kids running toward the edge to get a better view! : )

You guys are lucky to still have me around, lol!
