The salmon are running, folks! Last week our little family took a stroll around the Nimbus Fish Hatchery on "Black Friday" instead of facing the crazy crowds at the mall. We fed the baby fish in the tanks and watched the big fish jump up out of the water. The biggest fish looked like they were over 3 feet long! There is also a building where you can learn all about the fish and a giant salmon you can climb in. We pretended that the giant fish ate us. The fish ladder was closed for the weekend and they weren't harvesting eggs that day, but if you ever get to go that's really fun to see (and don't forget to bring nickels for the fish food machine). It has a nice path that goes a long the river that makes for a nice little walk. It made for a really pleasant morning and it's free!
