Brrrrrrm! Splash!

They sat like this for a good 25 minutes.
What rivets them so?



It's the ice-smasher-boat!!

Otherwise known as the "AmphibEx" (amphibian excavator).

How do I know this?

A few years ago, a different group of tots was rivetted by the same spectacle, only this time some of the "workin-guys" were on shore. They admired the kids, and chatted about their work. The children were MESMERIZED.

Those big men!
That big machine!
The roaring and the cracking!
The whoosh of the water!
Those big chunks of ice!
(I mean, really. Does it get any better?)

One of the worker-dudes approached, hitching his jeans importantly.

"Stay in school, kids, or you'll end up doing this."

Well. There goes five families' hopes of their child's post-secondary education...
