Fish Hatchery Adventures

Last weekend the local fish hatchery hosted a "Fish Hatchery Adventure" day. Chris was gone for drill and Nanny and Papa were in Branson for the day, so Uncle David and I loaded up the kids and headed over to the hatchery. We couldn't miss this- it was a beautiful day and Tanner really wanted to go fishing.
So that was our first stop, he grabbed a toddler fishing pole and with help he hauled in this beauty.
Here is Tanner holding his first fish.

Our next stop was the fish painting station. First Tanner painted the fish different colors then we turned it over on a piece of paper and it made a paint imprint on the paper. So cute. He LOVES his fish picture.

Then we headed over to the bug house. They had tons of different displays with lots of different bugs. Tanner really wanted to hold the cockroach- what a weird kid. Then he tried to hand it off to me- NO THANK YOU!

Here are the kids checking out their rubber bugs for the bug house

 Then the archery station. Look at my little man. He's concentrating so hard with his little tongue sticking out.

He actually got to shoot the bow and even though he didn't hit the target, he did shoot it pretty far.

 Then we headed over to the boardwalk overlooking the river. Here's Tanner and Bailey looking at the water.

 Sweet kiddos. Yes, Tanner is totally posing. Silly kid.

We had a great time. Bailey had to spend alot of time in her stroller because she was too young for most of the activities but she enjoyed being outside and she loved her rubber bug. I'm glad we went. We all had a great time and the kids slept so well during their naps that day. Thanks Uncle David for coming with us and helping me with these wild kiddos.
