More Branson...

Thursday we went to the Fish Hatchery. It wasn't too exciting, but it was free and the kids thought it was fun feeding the mass amounts of fish. I'm talking like gazillions of fish. Some cages had just the 'eggs', some had the teeny tiny fish and others had full grown fish, waiting to be let out into the lake. The actual process of breeding fish was gross. So glad my girls didn't understand the video they showed ;)
After watching a video we walked around inside of the building and Cai had an intent to touch this snake. He was a little upset he couldn't actually touch it. Gross. (on a side note, we saw a real snake at library time a few weeks ago. The lady let each kids 'touch' it. Cai grabbed it and wouldn't let go. Gross!!)
Marin liked the turtles better...


Outside in the hatchery there was a machine you could buy fish food. The kids loved it.



Click on the picture and look closely at the water-those are ALL fish.


The hatchery was right by the dam-looks like a waterfall from this picture.


We walked down to the lake where men were fishing and found some cool small waterfalls.



Then we found a hiking trail, but stopped short when we saw a skunk  hurry back into the trees. Needless to say we turned around ;)


A favorite picture-this one is now framed :)





These two took such good care of us while in Branson-or should i say gave us a break and entertained our kids! love them!





That evening we played frisbee golf (the course is around our cabins). Ava dominated.






This little boy received LOTS of piggy backs from grandma :)



That wraps up another day!
