The Wonder of it All.

So, Wonder...the fish...made it through three weeks of driving to and fro, hither and thither, near and far. He was doing great--until we put him in a fish bowl full of Durham city water. Now, I cannot prove that the water killed him (and I even let it sit in the bowl a few hours before adding him, as was recommended), as Zac pointed out to me that we don't know Wonder's exact age at time of purchase (what 6 year old says that?!?), so he might have died of old age.

Either way, we had a funeral service where the kids drew pictures of Wonder. This was their idea, and the pictures turned out nice. Unfortunately, you can't really see them (see below). You kind of can if you click on them and make them even bigger, but the colored pencil just didn't show up. Chayce's is of Wonder blowing love bubbles (pink, heart shaped bubbles out of his bowl), and Zac's is of Wonder just chillin' with his cool rainbow colored rocks. Then, Wonder went on that swirly ride that only dead fishies are lucky enough to get to ride on. Too bad they don't really get to experience it...given their dead status. Farewell, Wonder!
