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.
