Outdoor School Open House

We had a great day at Outdoor School in Paradise Valley today. The weather was perfect and the kids got to explore a fish hatchery, farm, and a Bighouse all in one afternoon.






The kids got to release salmon fry into a stream. Garrett even carried one down to the stream in his hands but the poor thing got dropped a few times so we felt the net was safer (the fish was fine and happily swam away).



Kelsey got a try too.

Kelsey loved the baby goats. This one was two weeks old.


You can't go to Outdoor School without visiting the ever so smelly pigs. Ick.



Garrett got to hold a baby chick in the farm lab. He took his job very seriously.


I'm not a fan of stuffed birds but thought this photo was cute.

We had to get a classic bighouse shot. The kids enjoyed the indoor fire but Cary and I couldn't get them out of there fast enough. Too many kids walking around with hot bannock on sticks.


As usual, the highlight was throwing rocks into the Cheakamus River.
