Speechless Sundays - Getting Ready for Summer!!!

I used to work at a Camp in Colorado when I was in college.  We had Getting Ready for a Dipa 12 by 12 foot raft.  I was the head lifeguard and the Atheletic Director.  It was awesome.  In any event, many years later, when we got our new house it came with a 1 acre pond.  I couldn't wait for me to build the same 12 by 12 foot raft. 

Guess What?

We get about 100 gallons a minute coming up through the underground springs and it's about 40 degrees.  Yesterday we waded out to bring the raft back and today we're going swimming in the pond.  A lot of fun.  I'm going to see which kid will put their money where their mouths are!!!!Getting Ready for a Dip

Bettag - You were a lifeguard?  Wonderful.  There is nothing quite like having the visual of Bettag in a speedo in one's head for the rest of the day.

How cool it is that you have your own private pond with circulating water!  You are a blessed man.  Enjoy the times you get to spend with your kiddos!

This is really cool, I used to work at a Camp in Ventral and taught beginners water skiing and yes, we had several similar docks/rafts ;-)

Larry -- great fun for all.  I was also a lifeguard - at a public beach for several years (summers only here in W Washington).  Though a bit cool, the kids will probably have great time.
