Building a Raft

The kids decided that it would be fun to build a raft for our pond. I, of course, encouraged them. We have lots of wood scraps around the property and even some old pallets. The kids tried using one of the pallets as is. Lacey was the brave one who took the first voyage. It did not go well. She sunk. In pond water covered in algae. They have the best childhood!

They did try to improve the raft. Lacey Googled how to build a raft and went back out with a plastic garbage bag filled with empty water bottles, duck tape and twine. I didn't get to see the final product, but apparently the bag got holes and the raft still did not work. Hopefully they will go back out this weekend and try again.
