Finding our "Nemo"....

    At the beginning of the summer I decided that I wanted to get some fish. I didn't want anything fancy with a huge tank and tons of fish, just two goldfish would do for me =) So I picked up two goldfish at the local pet store. First thing I did when I got home was take a picture of them through the plastic bag with my cell phone and sent it to Levi. I wanted him to name them!! (haha he named them Angel and Boomer) They were doing great for awhile, but one evening I went to feed them and Boomer was floating. The saddest part was that poor Angel would have to swim alone for awhile. BUT just about two weeks ago I felt it was time Angel had a buddy so I purchased another goldfish and named him Boomer Jr.
   I have to admit I wasn't thinking things through too clearly because the night before Levi and I left home for his job orientation he asked me what we were going to do with the fish while we were gone. (we also have a hermit crab) After careful thought I decided the best thing to do would be to take them with us! I know I know I'm crazy, who takes two fish and a hermit crab on a Greyhound bus ride and then onto a semi truck,  but I didn't have the heart to get rid of them.
    haha so I guess your wondering how I was able to transport these little guys. Well, I put them in seal tight Tupperware containers! The fish in one and the crab in the other. I then placed them in the bottom of a gift bag and simply carried them along, no one even knew they were in there, lol
    So I woke up after our first night at the hotel and went to go and feed the fish...but one was missing! I rubbed my eyes and turned on the lights just to make sure I wasn't going crazy. Sure enough only Angel was  in the fish bowl. After checking all around the desk that they're bowl was on I found Boomer Jr. on the floor. It was his attempt at escaping, but he didn't succeed like Nemo was able to. I guess this means the fish bowl will be less cramped, huh?
