Tepee or Lean To?


Conor and Woody dug up this "pond" so they could have a habitat for fish and frogs (even though there are frogs happily hopping all over the property and plenty of fish to see in the ocean).  I am all for nature and exploring and learning and getting dirty. . .However, this habitat seems more like a mud pit that all the children fall in and Penny baths herself in.  It just feels like more mess and laundry for me and less "learning about animals." No?

yep, we still have dogs.  

Apparently there are two main styles of fire building, Tepee and Lean-to.  Over the years, Conor and his best buddy have had long discussions over which technique is best and why.  Conor is a strong believer in the lean-to method but despite his best efforts, his son is a tepee builder.
