Elliot and i walked down to the camp for some ice {for all the smoothies we are making with my new magic bullet!}....and while we were there, we saw that the office goldfish had some proper fish food! Isaac got a gold fish a few days ago from some staff who saved it from being eaten at youth camp {don't ask, i whole-heartedly do NOT agree with what they were doing with them}....but we haven't gotten food for it yet....so i scooped about 2T of it for our fish into an envelop and handed it to elliot to carry home.
We arrived home and as i was putting my ice away, elliot was very quiet. I went to hunt for him and found him looking at the fish in their bedroom.....he had dumped the ENTIRE envelop into the tank!!! sheesh! You could hardly see through the tank anymore....figured this was a good 'teachable moment' and pulled out my childhood favorite book about a boy who feeds his fish too much. We sat in front of the fire to read it together:
After a quiet afternoon, i figured i should take the garbage out and the cardboard to the recycling, so elliot and i loaded up the quad and took off. After that was done, we went on our normal 'bear hunt'.....i love that he sits right in front of me so we can have a running dialogue as we ride. The Mission: Find a bear!
Mission ACCOMPLISHED!!!
