On Sunday April 4 our beloved Bubbles died. Bubbles was our beta fish that was given to us last Christmas. He lived in his little glass vase on our counter for 1 year and 3 months. He was our first pet as a family and we learned to love him. Avery was especially fond of him. I must say that when we first got Bubbles I was a bit nervous that he would not survive more than a week at our house, but we managed to keep him alive for a long time! When he died we decided that it would be best if we burried him. (Tim wanted to flush him, but I was afraid we would scar the kiddos. They would never want to use the toilet again!!) So Tim put Bubbles in a bag and we set off to find his final resting place. Suprisingly Avery asked if she could carry Bubbles to the woods!
This was the spot that the kids chose to bury Bubbles. So, Tim dug his grave as the kids looked on.
Avery wanted to do the honors of putting Bubbles in his "home." And in true Avery fashion she chucked the bag in the hole!! After a few giggles about that we all said our goodbyes and Tim burried him. We even put a stick with a little flag attached to it over his hole so that the kids would always know where Bubbles was burried.
And then we set off on a fun nature walk! What a great life lesson and teaching moment for the kiddos!
