Fishing

A few weeks ago-Mother's Day weekend I was going to buy flowers/plants for the garden so Ryan took Alli fishing with her Barbie fishing pole from Easter. Well they had a great time and found a little "friend" that Alli wanted to bring home to play with and apparently she wanted to eat it. Alli caught the fish and they made a little pond for it to swim in while they finished up. On the way home the poor fish died. So since Alli had wanted to eat it, Ryan gutted it and cut the head off to barbecue it and when she came inside and saw it she had a *small* conniption. She was super concerned because the fish wouldn't be able to see. And she was sad because she had wanted to play with it. However, when it was cooked she ate it and liked it. Because of this wanting fish thing we decided we would try our hand with a few 25cent goldfish from Walmart. Well the 3 didn't even make it 24 hours so we took them back after her dentish appointment the next day and traded them for 4 new ones. Those made it slightly longer and we tried every trick we had heard of or could think of with the second batch to no avail. The first one didn't make it home with another one following pretty quickly after. The 3rd and 4th ones made it a day or two before they started "sleeping." After that we decided that apparently fish aren't our thing and that it is good kids are easier to keep alive!!!
