Issaquah Salmon Hatchery "field trip"

The weather here has been so nice that I have been trying to take Marcus out as much as possible. We have also been trying to engage in activities with other children. So every week we go to story time at the library, and then we walk over to the Salmon Hatchery to look at the fish, because Marcus loves fish! But, these fish are UGLY!acting like a ninja...

Marcus and the salmonOK, so when the salmon are ready to spawn (which is when they die. Their whole life is to spawn and then die!) they begin to change by getting snapper-like mouths and crazy looking scales. Needless to say, they are super ugly. At the hatchery they have tanks filled with fish ready to spawn, I hope you can see (how ugly) the fish through the reflection.
