Last Friday was a day off for Nate and Paige and I have been wanting to go see the salmon at Issaquah Fish Hatchery for awhile. It was finally the perfect day to go where we didn't have anything going on and there was no rain. It was still cold and we had to bundle up but it was really a nice family outing.
The black mass in the water is a huge group of fish. It is so fun to see these huge salmon swimming up river.
Then our favorite part is the fish ladder where you get to see the fish up close. They are HUGE! Most of them are longer than McCall and they are all grouped together and it is so cool to see.
It was hard to get a good picture of them with the glare and our reflections but if you look close you can see how big they are.
We sure love our girls and our family outings!
They have all sort of educational information about the life cycle of a salmon and truly how hard it is for a salmon to survive the entire life cycle. There was one wheel where you spin it and see if you as a salmon would have survived and the odds are definitely not in your favor. The bottom right picture was after we told Baylor that she wouldn't have made it if she were a salmon.
More fish watching as they would swim up river. Why are fish so fascinating to watch!?!
Then since we were in Issaquah we made a quick stop at Krispy Kreme for some delicious doughnuts.
She was the cutest little customer!
What a fun family outing!
