Our Pond


This pond is across the street from our house. We spend lots of time here during all four seasons! This summer has been a summer of catching snails and other pond life. The boys love filling buckets with pond water and then depositing their treasures from the pond inside! Luckily, they are kind enough (to the creatures and to me!) to leave everything at the pond when we leave. We loved taking our dog, Murphy to the pond. He loved to jump right in and fetch tennis balls. Our new pup, Riley, loves the pond too! He hasn't ventured into deep water yet, but enjoys dunking his head under the water. It is funny to watch! We see lots of geese, turtles, and fish at the pond too. Our pond is home to a crane, which walks around on its long legs in the water. Skipping rocks or just throwing rocks is another fun pastime for the guys. I am sure you can imagine how much fun this spot is for little boys!!
