Durango Fish Hatchery

Saturday we took a drive up to Durango. We didn't do our usual horseback riding adventure, but Heather still wanted to go to the little town and do our usual stroll down main street. She loves shopping in the little shops. I don't know who she gets that from?

We visited the Fish Hatchery first where the kids got to see the long rows of trout tanks. There were fish of many sizes all grouped together, and the kids got to feed them.

There was a wildlife museum on the premises, so we toured that as well. It was neat to see the stuffed animals as well as the pelts. They were very diligent about telling us how they acquired each of the animals. This bear was hit and killed by a car. In light of the recent bear attacks, it was surreal to stand next to something so life-like.

After lunch, shopping and more picture taking for the girls' portraits, we visited the railroad museum. The kids love going into the cars they have set up to explore.
