Meet Goldie and Yellow Toad

For some Sunday afternoon fun, we went to the Fall Festival Family day which is open for the kiddie rides only. We picked Mimi up along the way (in case we needed a token adult for any rides). As for rides, the rides didn't seem to hold up to the amusement park standard they have become accustomed to, so they got bored very quickly.

However, several of the games were also open and the kids couldn't resist the opportunity to beg for an opportunity to win a goldfish. "We've never had a fish before!" So Mimi remembering several years ago when Chris made the same statement and his Grandma Lois said something along the lines of "let him try...what are the chances", she decided it was time to reenact history. She purchased a bucket of balls for the kids to try to win their prized goldfish. The whole family was throwing for a chance...Connor pinged one in and then shortly after I pinged one in for Brady. What were the chances!!

Next stop on our way home was a trip to the Pet store to purchase the required equipment as the instructions on the bag said find a new home within 4 hours. At least this time, it was a daytime win as opposed to a late night win. Hopefully the fish, named Goldie and Yellow Toad, have a surviving chance. If not, we have a nice setup for a replacement.
