baby fish

 cousins cousins and more cousins have been in town.  we have had a blast.  we went on a couple hikes and made several trips to the beach but there has not been as much nature study as we had gotten use to.  it feels good to get back into the nature walks in the morning routine.  on a recent nature walk pepper ventured into a "pond" to catch little fish.  they were super fast. so we decided to come back and bring dad.

so we did! he used a net to catch 18 baby fish (salmon we think) and put them in a tank.  we let the kids observe them for a while and then we let them go in the river (which was 50 feet from it).

P.S. Pepper is not mad in the middle picture, she is just making a silly face.  and tabor insists on wearing that swimsuit that is 3 sizes to big for him.  he has a few in the correct size but they do not have sharks on them so they are not options in his mind.
