We free Squirmy and Fishy

While the Robertsons were here we aquired 2 minnows.  Josh named them Squirmy and fishy.  They lived in a small plastic water bottle on our mantle for about a day and 1/2.  On sunday after the Robertsons pulled out of the driveway we made a family trek to the marsh to release Squirmy and Fishy into the wild.

We have come a long way with Grace. Last summer she screamed and cried during her single trip out into the marsh and had to be carried back to solid ground.  This time she was exploring and finding fish, crabs and algae.  What a relief!!
SE was out there too.  I had no worries that she would freak out, she's just not that kind of girl.  Instead she sat in the mud in the first 30 seconds we were out there so she had to be stripped of her pants.  It didn't bother her though. She is so funny, a little chatterbox.  It cracks me up to hear here littel mouth say such BIG things.  For example "I want to see the algae too."  What 2 year old says that??
