Annika is our luckiest child

Annika's Hamilton grandparents gave her a fish for Christmas! She is so excited about her first pet.

First, Annika put rocks in the tank (Annika chose the prettiest rocks in the store):


Then she added the plant and plastic turtle:

Finally, time to put her betta fish, Buster, in his tank.



Buster looks lonely, so he may be getting a girlfriend soon...

That is going to be the exact kind of pets I let my kids have. They don't stink or make any noise, how much better can they get? By the way, the third picture down profile shot of Annika looks so much like the pictures of you, Laurel, when you were little.

Yea, Annika does resemble her mom too. Such a pretty girl!
The problems I have seen with fish is the constant cleaning of the bowl and trying to keep the fish alive!
Does Buster have a roommate yet?

Umm, Buster only made it a few weeks. Rob took Annika to PetSmart to replace him, and they came home with a 10-gallon tank and 14 fish. A couple of days later, we discovered about 20 baby fish swimming around and had to buy a separate net area for them! That's what you get for buying 1 fish!
