Releasing the fish

This morning our neighborhood had a fun event that the boys loved. They were planning to release goldfish into the ponds and little streams that are all over our complex. So they announced to families to be at the management office at 10 am and kids could get some fish to put in the water. Angie went a little ahead of us and warned us it was "BYOB" - bring your own bucket. So we grabbed a bucket and the kids and waited in line. They had huge, trash bag-size plastic bags filled with goldfish and water. You handed them your bucket, they scooped you up a bunch of fish and water and gave you a section of the complex to fill with your fish. The boys LOVED it - as I think did every other kid in our complex. Definitely a fun (but different) family event in the neighborhood. We got some really fun pictures!

Elijah made everyone laugh with his own way of "releasing" the fish- just reach in and grab 'em with your hand and chuck them into the water. He did it over and over while everyone laughed.
