Fish

We've had a fish tank since Leah won a gold fish at the church carnival in 2014. She named her fish Gilbert. Our family is not a "pet family" so owning fish is a big deal. When we bought the tank we purchased another goldfish, which lived for 5 hours, and a mystery fish we call Trixie. Last week Gilbert went to fish heaven and Leah held a very moving service in the back yard for Gilbert. It was cute and funny and serious all at the same time. Last night Bob and Leah went to the pet store to buy filters for our tank which now housed just Trixie. 

I was a little fearful that they would come home with another pet, like a dog or a snake. Instead they brought home more fish. And they are very cool!

This is Doug and Earl. They are inseparable. 

This is Juan the crayfish.

And this is Carl. He is us the funniest fish and keeps ruining into the side of the tank. 

So far all fish have survived the night!
