Fathers Day

For Fathers Day Josh didn't want us to get him anything. Instead he wanted to build a Fine Bubble Aeration System. We have been stocking the pond and other than rain water we have no other oxygen source. So in order to have a variety of fish and give them oxygen we needed aeration.

Josh made two fine bubble air diffusers. This is one of them.

Josh and Brenden dug this ditch from the garage to the pond.

And then from the top of the levee to the pond.

This is self weighted air hose, so it would not float in the pond.

They used floats to get the "systems" where they wanted them in the pond.

All of the kids went out there to help hold tools and such.

Josh is trying to cut the strings he used to lower them into place, he used plastic chain and a water bottle filled with air tied to each one to be able to located them later if they need work.

The Josh's hooking up the pipes to the air hose.

Hooking the plastic chain to the system.

All done enjoying the cool bubbles.

A view from the bank. Our babysitter had not seen this yet it scared her to death bless her heart! She couldn't find Tayler right away and thought at first until she came from the front yard this might be her. She is hilarious and said her next thought after looking out again who ever was out there was doing pretty good to be having all those bubbles.
