Fish Food

Last week Amanda Wood and I took the kids to the Botanic Gardens. We went into the Japanese Garden to feed the Imperial Carp (Koi). Eli wanted to eat the fish food at first but soon go the hang of throwing it. Jane did not eat the food but is not a thrower, she would drop it over the side like a lady. Eli and Jane both tried to get in the water a few times but we were diligent mamas and kept everyone dry. Next time we may not be so lucky, they are getting faster!!
We ended up leaving when Eli had a fit because I would not let him in the water! The water is 6 feet deep, the fish are bigger than him, and I did not feel like a swim!

Here are a few pictures:

The fish, as you can see they do not go hungry!

Another look at the fish!

For all you mom's out there looking for something fun to do this summer...

It cost $4 to get into the Japanese Gardens and 25 cents for each large handful of fish food.

There is lots of shade and areas to eat a picnic lunch! Bring a zip lock to put the fish food in!

All day fun for not a lot of $$$!
