Gerald the Fish

While we were at the river in August we had an interesting thing happen that I thought we should record. We thought we took pictures. But, we can't find them anywhere.

One afternoon Lenore and Laney spent some lazy time wading in the river. After some time they were able to spot a couple of fish. They are a little hard to notice because their green color blends in well with the water and the bottom of the river. Lenore sent Jensen in to get some cheese to feed to the fish. We all got quite a kick out of doing this. One of these fish was quite large, about 18 inches in length. They were careful to keep their distance. But, at one point the big one came up to Lenore's foot and either bumped her toe or tested it to get her attention to throw more cheese or to see if her toe was good to eat.
