Day 10- Final Day of the Canada Trip

After visiting the Waterfalls, we wasted no time trying to beat the snow on Mt Ashland and through Mt Shasta area.  We were so close.  Well, when plan A fails, there is always plan B.  Well I guess our plan B at midnight was Walmart parking lot again.  Funny thing was seeing all the big rigs and motor homes that were there when we entered.  I guess we weren't the only ones who had to wait til morning to drive in the snow. 



This trip was absolutely unbelievable!  I am blessed to have the wonderful family that I do!  Our love for each other grew and am thankful for the the large amount of blessings that we received on this trip.  It was a jammed packed 10 days of nothing but love, laughter and learning. 
 I can't wait for the next Campbell adventure.

Day 9 of the Canada Trip

Bonneville Lock and Dam in the Columbia River Gorge.

We were able to view the fish ladder.  The fish swimming up stream on the fish ladder.

We took a tour of the dam and this picture is of the top of the fish ladder. 

There are several turbines that the dam operates.

Look what I found!  The exact desk that my parents have in their office.  My Mom and Dad have had this for years.  And I think at one point, we had that chair too.

No matter how many signs, "Don't sit" kids will sit anyway.

Boys are just drawn to tools.

The next stop was to the Fish Hatchery. The kids were able to buy food and feed fish.

 10 foot sturgeon. 

One final feeding before we leave.



Our last stop for the day, the Waterfalls.



If it wasn't so raining and slippery and I should include 71/2 months pregnant, I would have loved to hike up to the bridge half way up to the waterfall.  Scott said that there is a trail to the top top of the waterfall.  All for that without the kids, don't need to lose a child!



We just had to pull over to have this photo. 



I 3/4 mile trail to this waterfall was just breathtaking!  But I lost the love for the trail, when I was hiking up hill to get back to the car.  But it was worth it.

Day 8 of the Canada Trip

Drove to see Mount St Helen's Museum.



One of the tree stumps from when Mt. St Helen's erupted.



This was a favorite exhibit.  The kids are jumping to make their own earthquake. 



We took a beautiful walk along the wetlands.





She is my goofball!
