So about the middle of january we took the kids to a fish hatchery. Too our surprise they really loved it. They were amazed at all the fish and they had alot of fun feeding them and watching them jump out of the water to be the first to catch the food. They would laugh and laugh and ask for more feed. It was so cute to watch. There was a visitor center that had really good models and displays of what they do at the hatchery. They had models of the fish eggs and the different stages of life. They even had a video of how they collect the eggs. They weren't to fond of that part. But they (well kaeryn and tristan) were very interested in learning about what the hatchery was for.
There was also a really nice trail along the hatchery that followed the river the hatchery was next to. We love to take nature walks so we went to explore. The kids had so much fun trying to see fish from the bridge. We saw many different kinds of birds. One of the coolest was a giant turkey vulture. It flew right over our heads. Kaeryn and Tristan were like "WOW!" I love to see how excited they get when exlporing.
Before we left the kids got to play at the playground which was this giant salmon. Kaeryn and Tristan had fun seeing who could climb up to the top and pretend they were going for a ride.
Jaxen had fun sliding down the mouth. Then all three of them would run in and out of the fish. They had a blast. We ended the trip by going to a nearby gas station to get drinks.
