Field trip

Aiden and I were able to go on a field trip to Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River today with a group of kids from WAVA. Our friends Debbie and Keelen took Aiden and I along with them. It was a lot of fun. We got a full tour of the power house area, and even got to walk on one of the generators. It was really cool. The kids learned how electricity is made at the dam, and how it is transported from the dam to their house.

After that we drove across the Bridge of the Gods to the Oregon side of the dam. We went to the fish hatchery where we had lunch before feeding the fishies. The boys LOVED feeding the fish, and I have to admit, it was pretty cool. I haven't been in SO long, it was great doing that again. We also got to see famous Herman the Sturgeon :) Herman is a whopping 12 feet long and approximately 70 years old!

After that we went to see Multnomah Falls! The pictures aren't that great, they're from my cell phone.

We had a really great time though. The boys were great, and VERY well behaved. So well in fact, that we are even considering taking them out into public again!

Now it's time to make up for all the school work time we missed. We have to get some Language Arts lessons done.
