The day the weather was nice the boys came into J&L's house and said,
"The neighbour kids asked if we can go with them to the pond. Can we?"
So I said, "Let me ask UncleJ if it's safe." And he said, "Yes...absolutely."
And off they went ...with the neighbours and NO parents... to 'the pond'.
Great place to see trees downed by beavers ... very cool ... great idea.
So when they returned I asked them how it was ... and they said,
"There's a really cool abandoned(!) building ...
and if you don't want to walk across the metal pole you can crawl across the old log or climb into the ditch(!) and then back out."
"And when you get to the waterfall(!)
there are a lot of fish."
Um ... abandoned buildings? ditches? waterfalls? I thought we were talking about a little pond!
So the next day M and I went back with them to investigate.
So the next day M and I went back with them to investigate.
Now granted ... the fish jumping were super cool.
There was also an interesting abandoned silo ...
... and a pretty nifty way to climb out and take a look inside the old building.
A very cool place to explore together ... as a family ... parents and kids together ... right?
So I put 3 questions to you ...
1. Would you describe this place as 'the pond'?
2. Knowing ME(!!), is safe a word I'd use to describe this location?
3. How lucky are the boys that they have an uncle to save them from their over-protective mom?
