Fishing for Minnows

The big boys got a very small, 2 gallon, fish tank for Christmas this year.  They tried their hand a couple of different fish and nothing lasted more than a few days.  So, we were letting the tank sit because sometimes fish do better after that point.  Now, 3 months later we're getting some algae and definitely a seasoned tank. 

Since they LOVE to catch minnows and such and bring them home, I thought maybe they could put some in the tank and we'd just keep them instead.  We only have one as of tonight.  They didn't do so well as there were other people around the lake.  Jaemin did get to play with a frog and touch a tadpole though.  The tadpole has even already grown it's legs.  Jaemin wasn't too keen on the frog though.  It jumped and scared him...yeah Mr. Tough Guy.....and he told us to put it back.  I asked him to hold it, so he grabbed it from me and threw it back into the lake.  I don't think he cared for it.

It was a nice break from rushing in the evening.  I fixed supper, left it to simmer on the stove and we left. We came back just 1/2 hour later, took showers and enjoyed the food.  And boy were they all hungry after that.
