Barrel swimming...

So we had this really big hole in our back yard that Kenny dug when we first moved to Alabama 5 years ago and we also had an enormous amount of newspaper that Arnold wanted to turn into mulch for the garden we were wanting to plant this year. I'm not quite sure exactly how this happened but one of the metal barrels we have for burning trash was filled up with water and the kids were put in there by their dad for a little Schloemer style swimming! The water was cold and they were in nothing but their underwear but it was fun and something they will remember for a very long time! (July 2010)
