Introducing Green Smash & Peach~

Monday night we took the kids to the pet store so they could each pick a fish. I figure it's an easy enough pet to take care of. The biggest obstacle will be keeping the dog from eating the fish. I think I can do that.

Today Grace and Denny woke Bob and I up at 6am saying "the fish are hungry, the fish are hungry." Beta's only eat every 3 days, and we fed them last night. I had to hide the food otherwise these fish won't make it past the weekend.

Denny named his fish Green Smash. The fish is not green, but it's Denny's favorite color and Smash Brothers in his favorite wii game, so he put it together and came up with Green Smash.

Grace named her fish Sleeping Beauty, then switched to Flower then to Magical. She finally settled on Peach.

I give it three more days until the novelty of it all wears off, but until then I will enjoy the sweet excitement that these little fish have brought to us.

Soakin' Up the Summer Goodness~

The babes went fishing today for the first time, and both of them caught a little love. The picture below is of Grace's catch, but she wouldn't hold it up for a picture, so Uncle Pete did the honors.
Denny was a tad more friendly with his fish. Although he would not touch it, he got much closer.
So far, Summer has been treating us well. The kids are really into everything we have been doing. They are at such great ages now that outings are enjoyable for everyone, rather than the years before when it seemed like more work than anything.
Cheers to everyone~
