Salmon Run

Erik and I were babysitting Sawyer today so we decided to take her to Adams River to see the Salmon run. I always try to do something out of the house when I babysit because I do homework on all the other days. Sawyer also loves being outside so it was perfect!

 It is apparently the biggest Salmon run since 1913!! And it was ridiculous! Erik enjoyed it because he is planning on catching the descendants of these little guys in the next couple years in Alaska. How nice, eh??

It really was fascinating. Erik chatted with a park warden for a good half hour, but has yet to impart his new-found knowledge on me.

The weather was perfect! I think fall may be one of my top three seasons. And I think it may move up in rank once I have graduated and can properly enjoy it, It was perfect weather to wear a sweater and walk around. A sweater without walking would have been a little bit chilly.

We met up with Lindsey and Ade which was amazing because there were so many people. I saw them walking across a creek from us. Sawyer was nicely rocked to sleep by Ade.

Check it out!! I bet I could ave walked across the river on the backs of all the fishies swimming through it. Crazy!

There were so many dead fish. Obviously. People were gagging all over. You would step on the dead one's without even realizing it because they were all over and they blended into the rocks.

Lindsey got a new camera so she took a ton of gorgeous photos. She said she would make me a disc so I may post some of hers later. See all the dead guys around her??? Erik kept poking them with sticks and looking at maggots etc. Typical boy.

Now look at this little porker. She did so good today with all the driving and crazy naps. I adore her.

I know this is a bad photo below, but I love her little arm in it! It could be my favorite thing ever! Her popeye arm!

ps. i found my camera. silly me.
