"Fishing" excursion

Nicole wanted to get Greenie more companions! So, off we went for a "longkang fish" scooping excursion.

Nicole teamed up with Auntie Rose. She was good at cheering and giving instructions.

"Auntie Rose, here, here, come and scoop the fish"
"Auntie Rose, there are more over here"

Nicole was running about with her net and she finally got 1 fish!

"Auntie Rose, Auntie Rose, Look! I caught 1 fish"

We were all excited about her catch! We quickly went over to congratulate her. Indeed, there was a fish in her net but it wasn't moving nor flipping. It was a dead fish!! :( :) We could see the disappointment on her face when we declared her fish dead :( Thereafter, she decided she was better at giving instruction than scooping :)

Chubby was grouchy as he was sleepy. It was way past his morning napping time. So, he didn't really participate much though he enjoyed watching the kids running about with their nets and tanks :)

We called it a day after a good 45minutes at the fish farm. We counted Rose's achievement and it totalled 22. She managed to scoop up a good 22 guppies and even the attendant was impressed!

That is a nice activity for kids actually so that our kids who lives in the cities doesn't missed out such great fun too :) I also love fish scooping when I was so, so much so until I nearly drown, kekekeke ...... I can see that the fishing net was so small and I was impressed with auntie rose's ability to catch 22 fishes too :)
