Whatever floats yer boat...

The children flooded the drain in our backyard today. Let me explain: we have a gutter of sorts going through our back yard. It's kinda weird, but it's also wonderful in nice weather to have the water run and let the children play in it. So the big children had the water running and were having boat races in the water. First they started with leaves, then they selected random items from the yard to see which "boat" was fastest. It turned out that the best "boat" was a Yoplait yogurt container, floating right side up. Who would have thought?!?! I just love when the whole family is together, playing and enjoying each other's company...what a wonderful evening.
