We Have Fish!

For Hannah's fifth birthday, she was given a fish tank by Uncle Robbie, Auntie, and her cousins. We set it up and filled it with fish and kept filling it up with fish for a few years. But for the last year and half, maybe two years, we've not had any fish, we've kept the tank set up and filled with water, but haven't had fish.

Two weeks ago, I emptied the tank, cleaned it out really good, replaced parts that needed replacing, etc. I then filled the tank with water, put in the chemicals to treat the tap water, and the tank has been sitting beautifully clean for the last two weeks.

Last night, after dinner, we went to PetSmart for fish. Hannah was so excited to be getting fish for the tank. Very excited. We got home and put the fish into the tank and the girls both wanted to stay up and watch them! When I picked her up from school this afternoon, it's the first thing she asked about. Usually the first thing she asks is "What's for dinner?" but not today, it was "how are the fish?" Needless to say, the girls are happy to have a 'pet' once again.
