While shoveling, Rory hits a hard patch of snow, causing his shovel to stop moving. Seemingly distraught over the slow-down, or rather just caught off-balance, Rory dramatically tips over and lands head-first on the ground.

Though, not to be defeated, his dad comes up right behind him and effortlessly lifts him back onto his feet. Rory grabs his shovel and continues on his path.

"Snow shoveling, the struggle is real," Burke-Balsom wrote on Facebook.
