Tub Floaters 2009

Me, still cruisin' at age 10, in an extra deep (2 1/2')

snowmelt runoff puddle. There is a "island' of spruce trees growing in the middle of it. It was just 5 feet wide. The puddle was like a moat.We had a boys only island. This is May 2009.

The next generation of Albert floaters

is Nummies, 4 1/2 years old.

Old fashioned Spring fun

I like to float in water created each Spring by snow melt. Below is at the end of our dirt driveway and it was May 2007. I was eight. I had come up with the idea when I was outside and I've always liked pirates. I just find a makeshift oar. This is a banged up galvanized wash tub. The kids in my family still take baths in a new tub like that if we don't take a shower at the laundrymat. We don't have running water in our log house. I can still float without sinking, but some of my friends can't. The far left photo shows me in 2008.
