A clean fish pond, at least for a little while.

Swimming, the only way to beat the heat and humidity.

Very productive day today. I finally got around to cleaning out our fish ponds in front of the house. You can actually see the bottom of the pond and we found 7 fish that we had never seen. Trish put 7 new Koi in the pond while we were in Alaska but when we got home we never did see them so we thought something must have gotten them. I guess they were just hiding. Had lots of help with Luke here. He loved catching up all the babies and was pretty good at it too. We counted 25 little ones of varying sizes. It is going to be a great week with Sara, Trish, Luke and Lily here. Pop Pop is really happy to have the whole family here with us. Going to enjoy our time together.
