Shortly after we moved to Redondo Beach we bought new large trash cans. The lids were about 12 inches high/deep. When they were new, and it was hot(summer)we would turn them over and fill them with water. They made nice, individual swimming pools for whichever child wanted the comfort of the cool water.
Later, the kids told their teachers that they went swimming in trash can lids. I wonder what they thought!
These lids were also great to make a terrarium type thing. John would fill them with dirt and he and Jeff would put in some twig trees and make diorama type places for the G.U.T.S. guys, or little GI Joe guys.
Sometimes John would make a little nature scene and collect bugs in them.
Oh, those were the days. I told Samantha about swimming in the garbage can lids recently...she thought it was SOOOO FUNNY!
