We took all of the Supper Club kids to the Statesboro Fair last weekend, and needless to say, they had a blast! There were so many rides there that were aimed for "little kids" and so many yummy food vendors that were aimed for us "big kids". I really think everyone had a great time! I think the highlight of the night for the kids was winning goldfish (which they didn't actually win...the fair-man "gave" them all a fish because after 500 ping-pong balls, they still had not won anything). Anyway, Molly got a small bass that night...and so, our fish saga begins!
"Curious George" required us buying a new fish bowl, rocks, plant, food, etc just so he could end-up kicking the bucket 2 days laters. Well, that left us with all this "fish stuff" and no fish. So, yesterday while Molly & I were at "The Wal-Mart", I told her she could pick out a new fish. She decided on the black mollies (simply because she liked their name) & we got 3. As we were leaving with our new fish, the man who helped us get our fish asked if we had an oxygenated aquarium. With fear of what he was about to say, I simply said "no." Well, of course, black mollies can only live in an aquarium with oxygenated water...so we had to buy a new aquarium. And, then Molly also wanted a little "fish tunnel" for them to swim through...so we got that too, even though it did not fit in the aquarium once we got it home! On the way out of Wal-Mart, we met a friend who was admiring Molly's fish & was quick to point out that we have 1 male & 2 females...and I hear they really like to breed. So, we'll probably end up having to get an even bigger aquarium to house all of the offspring. Man, one "free" fish is becoming very expensive!
