Notes

Sunny day with some clouds forming. No rain in past 24 hours. Some ducks swimming about in the water , lots of cattails , and further out in the river boats could be seen. Nice lady stopped on the boardwalk where we were testing and was interested in watching us and learning about the tests so our grandkids helped us explain each test to her as we did them and gave her a card to go to the website to learn more. They were good little ambassadors for Water Rangers today and she left us with a real smile on her face. :)
