Twanoh Chum

Yesterday M took a day off due to inclement weather. So we took a homeschool science field trip to Twanoh State Park in Belfair to watch the chum swim upstream and spawn. The kids were amazed that such large fish could struggle in so little water, just so they could spawn and die. We even got Grandad to come along, by promising the trail was short and flat and easy to walk. If you look right above the word "Fish" you will see a large chum resting:The first part of the walk was very easy, but my kids being their father's children, weren't satisfied with a short walk. We left Grandad in a nice flat part and followed the trail a little bit farther. Here are some other sights:

My tree huggers, says sarcastic M: All I could see of my children at one point See the red dot? That's E: And F, happy to pick little rocks off the trail and say, "Rock!"
