10 gallons of fun

Mack and Ellie checkin' out the tank
Mack had a piggy bank full of coins and cash. It never occurred to her to actually spend it! One day she had mentioned wanting something and I told her that some kids use their own money to buy things they want when it's not their birthday or a holiday. This set the wheels in motion and a few days later , the epiphany came to her; she wanted to buy fish with her savings.

It didn't take very long before Mike and Mack had researched fish and knew which kind would work best in our tank. They returned from Petsmart with Neon Tetra fish, snails, Denali's and a friendly tank cleaning ,plecostomus.
Mike and the gang

It's now common place to find Mike and me on the steps, Mack on her bench and Mason in his high chair watching the antics of our tankful of fish. Not only does Mack have new pets but also a new responsibility. Those are good things for a soon to be five year old in my book!
So much fun
