There's no other love like the love for a brother -- TBD

I walked out into the backyard to where my little brother was playing in the sandbox.  I sat on the edge and joined him.  "Noah, do you want to build a castle and a moat?" I asked him, since he was just sort of sifting through the sand.  "Or are you doing a dig to find dinosaur bones?"

I jumped, slightly started by my brothe'rs interuption.  I smiled at him, though.  "Let's do the dig!" I said, my imagination already running wild.

I chuckled, glad that Noah was willing to have me join in on the fun.  Sometimes he did not like it that much.  I knelt down and started to dig.  "Oh look, Noah!" I said to him, pointing at a spot in the sand.  "What is that?"

I looked to where Cam was pointing and grinned.  "It looks like a tooth!" I said, getting in there and brushing sand away from the imaginary tooth.  "I think it might be a t-rex tooth!"

I gasped, getting super excited.  "Oh, that's exciting!" I said, helping reveal the tooth.  "Noah... I think we might have a whole skull beneath this!"

I peered at the sand; my brother just might be right!  "We're going to need bigger tools, Cam," I responded, standing up to get to the box that had the bigger shovels and buckets.  "We're going to have to keep all that extra sand away from those bones."

I chuckled and nodded at my younger brother.  "You're right," I said to him, realizing what Noah was doing.  I grabbed one of the buckets and started to fill it with some of the sand.

I returned and saw that Cam had a couple of buckets already.  I handed him a brush and a bigger shovel.  "This is good, isn't it?" I asked, wondering what all we were going to dig up.

I smiled at my younger brother.  "Of course it is!" I said to him excitedly.  "I betcha we'll dig up an entire dinosaur."  I loved seeing his excitement.  I really enjoyed playing with my brother.

I grinned.  "I hope so," I said to Cam.  "Don't you think that'd be a great story to tell?!"  I started to dig faster.  I wanted to uncover the dinosaur.

I nodded at Noah.  "Oh, I do believe it would be," I said to my younger brother.  "Do you think we should get something to put the bones into?"

I gasped at my brother.  "Uh, no," I said to him.  "the way we do it is to see them in their natural state.  As teh whole body... then we can move them.  But not yet.  We have to uncover everything first and document it, silly."

I tried not to laugh at my brother giving me such a hard time about wanting to get something for the bones.  "Alright," I said, shaking my head.  "I'm so glad that I have an expert to help me out... I would have messed it all up!"

"Yeah, you wold have," I informed Cameron as we continued our dig.  "Look!  It's almost uncovered!"  I grinned, looking over at Cam.  I love playing pretend with him.

I grinned, watching Noah dig furiously at the sand.  "Careful!  We don't want to scratch the bones," I reminded him kindly.
