Makaela's First Big Catch

She tried at the Barker Reservoir, then went to the children's pond by the park in Nederland, Finally - success!! She caught it on a lively worm.

Outdoor Potties

No, these aren't really toilets. It's fancy outdoor chairs that need to be drained....Fruehauf's Patio in Boulder, think some of this stuff has been around since the invention of patios.
