While we were in the Fall River Mills/Shasta County area we took some time to go and visit the Crystal Lake Hatchery. We got there right at feeding time and it was something to see all of these “growing” fish go crazy after the food.
We also spent some time feeding some of the more unusual fish at the hatchery.
Crystal Lake was much more peaceful. There were many pelicans fishing alongside the human fishermen. However, we saw neither land any fish.
The turtles sunning themselves on the rocks seemed to have the best seats in the house.
Father’s Day
Rick’s Father’s Day 2009 was a very low key one. He unfortunately spent the morning at urgent care dealing with a “swimmers” ear infection. But when he arrived at home the kids were ready to welcome him with presents and Ricky treated him to a movie that afternoon.

Iowa Vacation 2009 – Uncle Larry’s Farm
One of the highlights of every Iowa vacation is a visit to Uncle Larry’s farm and this year did not disappoint. He always has a menagerie of wonderful animals one of the latest additions of which is a peacock.

There were also lots of baby animals; a white calf, baby ducks waddling after their Mommy, and brand new quail and pheasants which fit into the palm of your hands.
We got to spend some of the afternoon at Uncle Larry’s and Aunt Linda’s camp site. It is very beautiful and peaceful. The horses came over to say hi while we cooked dinner.
