Fish don't fly

We decided to stick close to home on our family day out. The ominous western sky dampened our plan to head to the ocean. Apparently the family hasnt much luck with fish for when we arrived at the hatchery, it was closed due to high water.

We walked along the river saw a bunch of Osprey, a Great Heron and a Blue Heron. All of which were camera shy. My kids of course are not.

Randomnessity

Grandma Kay brought back goodies from Isreal, Uncle Jared revamped the tire swing and we got to see a mama duck and her six ducklings cross our road.
