more than it seems.

It might look like a basic five gallon bucket to you.

But to one small boy, this bucket is all he needs.

Astride this orange beauty, he’s a barrel rider, a cowboy, a race car driver.

Once he hops off his trusty steed or jumps out of the driver’s seat, he turns the bucket right side up and begins to go fishing.

Any stick and any string will do.

A belt tied to a lincoln log.  A sister’s hair band wrapped around a drumstick.

And when it’s time to come to dinner after a long day on the range and a few hours at the fishing pond and several laps around the race track,

the orange bucket holds his cache of toys and his favorite blankets.

A free bucket.

It’s really the perfect companion when you are two.
