"most awesome day ever"

[joefixit2]

there is a small stream that goes by my house and last year, I took my youngest (7 at the time) and we walked in the water for about a mile, picking up stuff we discovered. Decided to do it again this year and had forgotten that we had not had any rain for a bit and the stream was dried up in most of the parts. We started to walk abit and found some very small pools of water in spots along with some much larger pools. We saw some minnows and knew the pool would dry up in a couple days so we went back to the house and got a bucket and a couple small cups. We went back and for the next three hours, just her and I went from small pool to small pool, saving minnows, little salamanders, tadpoles, and crawfish and moving them to the larger pools. My youngest had a ton of fun capturing the small animals, knowing that she was saving each and every one of them. When we were done, she looked up to me and with a big smile said "this was the most awesome day ever."

No tv involved, no video game involved, no cell phone involved. Just go old fashioned playing out in nature. Great day.

That's awesome!

We are going to take the kids kayaking tomorrow.
A day away for electronics is awesome, although I did make a waterproof boombox that is Slacker enabled. Gotta have tunes floating down a river!

My next project is a floating BBQ grill so when can have grilled dogs on demand.
