Today was a pretty rainy day but that didn't stop us from getting out. We, along with John, Jada and Owen McFarlene (I hope that's how it's spelled) went to the Bonneville fish hatchery for Free Fishing Day for the kids. It was pretty cool. We had to register when we first got there and then the kids each got their own passport and had to walk around to all these informational booths to earn stamps on their passport to go fishing. They learned about not littering, water safety, animals, wildlife and different species of fish. As you can see they even had some stuffed wildlife there for the kids to touch. They even had some games and then of course they had free fishing. The boys each got to catch two fish. Since they were in the 4 and under category, they fished from tanks that were holding a bunch of rainbow trout. They loved it!! Unfortunately they had to be accompanied by an adult at all times so we were unable to take an actual picture of them fishing, which is to bad because they sure were cute with their little fishing poles. Hence the after shots with me holding the fish with Aidan. We were drenched by the time we got home but it sure was fun....and did I mention FREE! We even got to keep the fish, all four of them. It's a good thing I like to eat fish (wink wink). Fun times!
