Picking Out Our Fish (again)

We went to Town & Country to pick out new fish. (our last ones got eaten) Kam is crying because he wants his mom to hold him. Mackinley is enjoying new adventures of the shopping cart. She never knew she could stand and ride. Grandma loves to teach them new things. Taylee and Tydon were ready to jump in and catch their fish with their bare hands.
We took four new fish home and put them in the pond. Their names are, Herbie the 2nd, Harry Potter, Mac and One Eye. One Eye was blind in one eye. Emily felt sorry for him, so we bought him. He even swam crooked. He liked his new home but with only one eye he could not see the birds coming to eat him, and he was gone within the hour. Pour One Eye! He was actually Kam's fish so we have kept it a secret from him that his fish was lunch for some lucky bird. The kids check their fish daily and make sure they are still alive. The birds circle the pond regularly so I'm sure it will be a devastating day one day when they check on their fish. Oh well, Town and Country have more for the buying.

Although I am terribly heart broken for Kam...the story was hilarious! Hope your summer is filled with fun!
