New Camera Bliss and a Trip to the Fish Hatchery

This morning we headed out our annual trip to the local fish hatchery. The kids love it there mostly, I think, because they get the feed the fish. The day was muggy and overcast down here but once we got up the gorge there was plenty of blue skies. It was a beautiful day to be out and about.

Check out these pictures that Dakota took today. I am amazed at the clarity. WOW!




Here are some other pictures taken on our outing:



And a couple of Kaylen that I am really loving.





PS..Keep reading. I posted the rest of the beach story. :)

    Perrin: I agree completely!

    Dee: Did you post them? I'd love to see them.

    Patti_Cake: Wow. I feel so "pacific northwestn". :) You know how we love our fish! :) A fish hatchery is just that. It facilitates the fertilization of eggs (the place we go is a chinook and coho salmon hatchery), the hatching of new fish and then cares for them until they are big enough to be set out in the wild.
