A fun little Saturday

Had a great little family day today.  Tony was home and I was able to sneak out in the morning (all by myself) to a local event and get us a compost bin and rain barrel.  We've never done a rain barrel before so I'm not sure how it will work, but I'm excited about it.

We went to an unexpected park where kids could check out all different types of vehicles.  All in all it wasn't a huge success as it was a hot day and there were some serious meltdowns, but we did get to walk through a school bus.

After food and rest we hung out in the back yard.  And........we made a Pinterest-inspired "water moving machine".  I had pinned one from Let the children play, but there are tons on Pinterest.

We used some containers from the recycling bin and duct tape and just taped it to the chain link fence.  We used a couple of funnels and some sticks to prop where needed.  Pretty fun project.  Emma mostly just liked filling up cups of water and pouring them.

Good family times.
