Adams River Salmon Run
The day was gorgeous when we set out with Char to meet up with Ma & Pa at the Adams River. Did I mention Char has her license? 
**Here are some underwater shots of the fish**
We got at the river just after 10am Sunday morning and can I say packed! WOW the parking lot was full to the brim with cars, vans, trucks, and buses....tour buses FULL of people. Who would have guessed so many people would come to see salmon swimming up a river to spawn and then die? Hey we went..LOL!
We'd thought of bringing Hutch but when we were walking along the rivershore it was a good thing that we didn't because the shore was teaming with dead fish..hmmmmm stinky wet fishy-dog in the back seat of our civic....hmmmm NOT!
I've never actually seen so many fish in a river before I was experimenting alot with my cameras, especially our digital since it's waterproof I took some neat underwater shots of the fish. Carson had alot of fun too he was "treasure" hunting, finding rocks and sticks to stash in his pockets. What a great little boy he was, he sure enjoys the outdoors and is so fascinated with the trees, grass,rocks, river, and especially the dirt.
What a wonderful day....2 hours later we were off to Kamloops for a turkey dinner:)
