The World of H2O

We returned to fondly remembered Ground Water Festival with some friends. The kids have talked about pumping the well, running through the sprinkler and the memories of last years visit

since last year. They were thrilled to be heading back. There are about 30-40 stations all focusing on water, held at a Pioneer Heritage Village. Many had plastic models of towns which demonstrated the importance of wetlands and what happens in their absence, the purpose of a dam, how the actions on the earth
effects the groundwater. The kids enjoyed trying to wash oil off a feather, washing laundry with a wash board, in awe of the amount of water children collected a hundred years ago per day (100), the pump, the farm animals and the sprinkler. We also ate lunch by the river which was perhaps the highlight, you can't beat crayfish searching and walking up and down stream which is a great highlight to have!
