The Hatchery

For Veteran's Day the girls has school off and so did my brothers so Mckay and Joanne came up and my Dad was off work too. So we all decided to go to the Fish Hatchery because the salmon were running and Lizzy is seriously obsessed with Salmon. It is really cool to watch the Salmon swim up the ladder, it is quite amazing how powerful the fish are to jump up the steps. There was a sign that said a salmon could jump a ten foot waterfall, crazy! Anyway the ladder was closed because they already had too many fish waiting to hatch, but there were a few that we got to watch, it was amazing, plus these fish were huge! It was crazy to see how deteriorated the fish were because they were coming back to die. They girls loved going, and I did too, it is always fun to learn new things.
The gals were glued to the fence.

This guy was pulling out all of the ones that had died. This was a small one compared to most.
