Now Third Grade is Really Over
While not an official part of school, we joined up with Robert’s science teacher, Carol, and the last of the trout fish-lings the kids have raised from eggs at a small stream in the foothills of the Shenandoahs. It was release day and Robert, Markus and Thea released about 30 trout, each about four to six inches long. (You can just see one swimming out of the cup Robert is holding.)
It was stormy driving out there but the weather cleared and it was clear and starting to get hot with the humidity. But it was great fun to see the trout take to their new environment. And to realize how many the school provided (this was their second and final release day for the year).
After the fish were released, we drove up the road a bit further and picked some strawberries and cherries before stopping at one of surprisingly large number of Virginia Wineries on the way home. It was a very nice way to spend some summertime out of the house.
BONUS: Sarah and Robert made a great cherry cake.
