Yes, dams building can be very fun. Part of the allure is digging in mud. They are building "stoves" with the rocks in the driveway now. Thanks for commenting on The Boy's first post!

The Boy's dams are far more elaborate than ours were, though. We weren't allowed to dig up the driveway of the house in New Mexico with shovels, and there was definitely no creek there. We built dams with rocks -- and only on the rare occasions that there was water flowing (i.e.,only when the combines were being washed). We thought that was delightfully fun (the dam building, not the combine washing). Ah, memories of dam building … The Boy’s dams are far more elaborate than ours were, though.

(I recommend a career in reservoirs, not levies -- the politics are somewhat gentler.) I'm also impressed that there's a creek there. Occasional creek? Just a runoff route? Something else?
