Tate's first pet

For Christmas Tate got an aquarium (among other things). Chuck set it up on Christmas day with the promise that Tate would get a fish very, very soon. Well Chuck left the day after Christmas on a scuba diving trip in Florida. Chuck and I talked about it and decided to wait until we were all together before buying a fish. Today was the big day!
After a late lunch we headed to Petco for what I suspect will be the first of many trips in the name of one of Tate's pets.


Tate was super excited about picking out a fish. Chuck and I both asked Tate several times, 'which one do you want?"
He kept going from tank to tank saying "that one... that one!"
Eventually, after Chuck talked with Jeff, the fish expert at the pet store, we decided on guppies. Obviously not my first pick, but apparently they are hard to kill. Instead they will reproduce, and if we need to thin out our fish population we can take them to Petco.



All settled in their new home are 2 male and 2 female guppies. For now. We don't have names for any of them yet. I'm sure there will be updates!
