One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish .........


Fish Hatchery
On Sunday we went with friends to one of our favorite places; the Bonneville Dam fish hatchery. The kids had fun exploring the beautifully landscaped grounds, feeding the trout and ducks, viewing the giant sturgeon (or shark according to Elijah), and having water fights in the fountains. It was such a spectacular day!! We love Oregon. Our kids are becoming little naturalists. They can tell the difference between girl and boy ducks, tell you the salmon life cycle, and identify different kinds of flowers and plants. Nothing goes together better than kids and nature.
