Salmon Days

We joined the rest of Issaquah over the weekend and hopped a shuttle down to Salmon Days. Apparently it's quite a big deal.
At several points in the river you can see the salmon swimming upstream. Some of them were HUGE. And you can see all the ones that have 'met their ends' after laying their eggs. Ah, the circle of life. It's strange to see them swimming around in front of you, then picture all the frozen filets in the freezer. But we do love some salmon at our house!
This big blow up salmon's mouth opened up and kids could climb in, sit down and listen to stories being told {by the salmon, I think}. Weird.

It was a perfect Fall day to be outside, although I'd like to see a few more Fall leaves. I'm inpatient. This is supposed to be a long Fall, so I hope that we'll have plenty of nice outdoor-worthy weekends ahead of us.
