catching fish

After ballet class today we headed over to the botanical garden with a friend to have a picnic lunch. The botanical garden has many different garden types to explore, but my kids' favorite is the small pond in the bamboo garden. Here, we've seen countless fish and a handful of frogs so they always love to see if they can find them again. Today we ate lunch beside the pond and once they finished eating, the kids tried to catch fish with their hands, ran around and around and around the pond, and played amongst the bamboo.

Thomas didn't catch any fish, but we saw others catch them! Thomas got to hold one tiny little fish for a few seconds before releasing the fish back into the pond. He was thrilled!
