Fall Break ends well

Sometimes life gives you a cool surprise. We met a really nice family two years ago in the Los Angeles Airport also on their way to China to adopt. We've kept in touch with them and stopped on the way home from fall break to visit them.

$20 gone

As I logged on, I realized I did not post for the month of September. I suppose it was the shots in my back I was either preparing for or recovering from. Sorry!

I've never been much of a gambler, often losing my $10 limit at casinos, but I felt I had found the "no lose" bet when I wagered $20 that J could not get Nana to do a cannonball in the pool. Well, I lost $20.

Our other child

In a weak moment, B-dog resorted to a sketchy relationship with a little red monster.

Fish Hatchery

We visited the fish hatchery while on vacation and learned a lot about the growth cycle of the rainbow trout. They are shipped to the hatchery as fertilized eggs. The first photo shows them at about the size of minnows. Then when they grow to fingerling size, they are moved to the outdoor tanks called "racetracks". Visitors are able to purchase fish food and feed the trout which are in various stages of growth before being transported to streams throughout the state for stocking.

I now know where the term "feeding frenzy" came from!
