Koy Pond!!

We have this great Koy pond in our back yard. I love the pond. It has a fountain in it and waterfall and is pretty cool all the way around.

Koy Pond Maker: "These Koy have been alive for 9 years".

Sam and I: "What do you do with them in the winter?"

Koy Pond Maker: "Nothing the ice gets really thick but they live ever single year."

Sam and I: "??????... OK"

Cassidi goes over to a friends house about a month ago that has Koy and comes home and says to us. Jon has a Koy pond and his parent say you have to put holes in the ice so the Koy can live..
Sam and I: "O... CRAP".

Brock gets on the internet and reads an article that tells us how to take care of a Koy pond and sure enough it says that we have to break the ice.
So now every other day (or 3 or 4) we go out with an ax and break the ice.Here is a picture of the pond as of this morning. The ice is about 4 inch deep..

Prediction.. KOY ARE DEAD IN THE SPRING... We will see!!!!
