Jones Hole Fish Hatchery

We went down to the Jones Hole Fish Hatchery the other day for some great fun! The kids got to see the fish hatchery and feed the fish. We timed it good and got to see one of their trucks come in and suck all the fish up into it to transport them to wherever they were going. The scenery was beautiful (it reminded me of Zion's National Park) and we had a picnic on the grass. Despite being eaten alive by mosquitos, we stayed with our friend Carrie Johnson's family and went fishing after lunch. I don't know much about fishing, so I was glad to have their help. Both Jaylee and Kaysen bumped up against a plant we weren't too familiar with and they were both crying and freaking out. Kaysen's arm and Jaylee's leg both filled with these little swollen spots that made it look like they got bit by something, but it was from the plant. Luckily it didn't last too long. We took pictures of the plant and took some of the leaves and put them in a bag just in case I had to take them into the doctor, but luckily they were fine an hour later.
The stream was definitely more for fly fishing, but the kids still had fun holding their poles in it and practicing casting. It was a fun day and the kids have been talking about it ever since.

Bad Plant- Don't touch this! (I think it's stinging nettle?)
