Saturday night, the wife, the kids and I went to her parents for dinner. Big
hunka beef, a bottle of red. It was a great night. The next morning I was
suffering. Apprently I consumed most of the wine. So we wandered back to the
pond so I could finish up the cleanup, having drained it a bit the day
before. In the end the four of us worked in the pond area, cleaning the
pond, potting plants, raking leaves, cleanup, etc. ALL DAY!!! Me and the SO
and the kids in/around the pond ALL DAY!!! It was awesome.

Of course, now that I was in there mucking around, the water is all cloudy,
and murky. You can't see anything in there at all. We did do about a 1000
gallon water change, and scraped a barrel of much and leaves from the
bottom. In the end I think it will end up being nice a clean. The fish
seemed happy zipping around, and the frogs were all over the place. The kids
and their friend even sat and petted 3 of the frogs without a problem. These
little green guys didn't mind at all. My son even scratched one under the
chin. It was very funny.

Hopefully things will clear up in a few days, so we can enojy the critters
even further.
