Our stock pond

This slideshow is mostly for Greg and his family. It is a pretty funny story. As we were walking to school one morning we found a rubber "pond" that was put out with the recycling. Of course AJ was all over that, so we grabbed it. As you can see, it is not a terrible huge container, probably 2 feet deep and 3ish feet across. I thought, "No big deal, I can dig a hole that size in the lawn." Easier said than done. About 6 inches under the surface there is a solid layer of grapefruit sized rocks. We never reached the bottom of the rocks. That little hole took me about 4 days to dig out. SO ridiculous! It is funny now, and I should have included a picture of the new rock mountain in the back corner of our yard.

But AJ is blissfully happy with her pond and she now has a perfect place for the hundreds of minnows she brings home from our fishing trips (see "AJ's favorite thing") The minnows seem pretty happy with the arrangement as well.
