Our neighborhood has had a problem with sink holes in the past. In fact, before we closed on our home the previous homeowners had to tear out and replace the front sidewalk and steps because a sink hole had formed under the sidewalk and damaged it. One day Teresa decided to water some plants in my front yard and accidentally left the hose running on a patch of lawn in the front yard. I came home that evening and couldn't figure out for the life of me why there was a huge deep hole in my front lawn. It was about a two feet in diameter but it was at least six to seven feet deep. Yup, it was a sink hole. I still don't believe that leaving the hose on did all of the damage. I just think it was enough to exacerbate the problem. We haven't had another problems with them. I thought it was pretty funny that it happened in the first place.
If you look really closely in Matt's hand he's holding a shovel down in the hole. It was THAT deep. We filled it in the next day.

woah! that's crazy! is that you or your sister in that hole??
That is so funny. Last summer Jed and I were going to put a little brick walkway from our door to our shed, so we started by digging an inch or two into the ground so we would have a nice groove to lay the bricks in. Jed got about 2 inches down before it was just..empty. No more dirt under there. It also was about 6-7 feet deep, and we dug out a little hole in the top so we could fill it in. It turns out ours was an old coal-shaft from the house that was here previously. Now I will have to put pictures of that up on our blog.
I'm glad your hole didn't do any more damage than it did. Thats kinda scary, huh?
P.s. Kylie is so stinkin cute. Those cheeks are precious. And you are an excellent photographer. I should pay you to take some pictures of Har.vey.
