Our New Pets

Well, it all started when Bry told Mircea, "If you do well in swimming lessons without me, we can go get some fish." This wasn't really bribery as it might sound--the truth of the matter is--Bryan wants a fish tank and some fish. As per previous post, Mircea has been doing well in her swimming class (she is the splashiest kid in the pool). On Saturday, when I was conveniently gone to a baby shower, Bryan and Mircea when to Grandma and Grandpa's house to borrow their old fish tank that used to house "Fetch". Grandpa's pet fish; who died a couple years ago (thankfully not on our watch).
A moment of silence for Fetch. . . . . .






Anyway, after borrowing the tank, that evening we went and bought 6 Tetras (the red and blue ones). We have since learned from Marina, that these kind of fish just won't die--and we heard of some of the things their fish have endured through! grin.--it was entertaining. So now we are a family of 10. (we are hoping that the big belly on one of the fish does not mean anything! grin) If this fish experiment goes well; we might get an even bigger tank, and hopefully at some point get some upside down catfish. But I digress. . . the following pics are of Mircea and her fish. She is quite excited about them! She LOVES them. In fact she was sooo excited that almost all of Sunday she had her invisible friends around--so she could spread out the excitement.

Decoration for her tank--she picked it out

The fish getting acclimated--can you tell she is excited?!?

The fish are in the tank!

Look Casper!
