<p>Fun was had by all :)</p>
<p>My crazy son is in a few of those pictures! He said he had a blast but was surprised how shallow it is.</p>
<p>That’s very funny, BTMell! I asked my daughter how deep the pond was and she said she didn’t know because she never hit bottom…guess your son is a lot taller!! Sounds like they had a fun carnival.</p>
<p>He jumped in feet first and DID hit bottom - into mud - haha. It sounds like they had a blast!</p>
<p>I’m looking to transfer to Bates from Ohio State, and I think this is an awesome tradition! Us Buckeyes actually do the same thing, but on a much, much larger scale:</p>

<p>Yes that quite a different scale!! You will find almost everything at Bates on a smaller scale than at OSU. Good luck with your transfer decision!</p>
