Diehl Reunion Part 2 Fish Hatchery

We took a survey (yes we're cool like that) to decide which activities everyone wanted; the most popular one was to go visit the Page Springs Fish Hatchery where we grew up.  The largest hatchery in the state of Arizona, I might add. 

 My kids had never been there so it meant a lot to show them where I spent countless hours as a kid riding bikes, roller blading, picking blackberries, saving my 50 cents to buy a soda and feeding the fish every single time someone new came to our house.

The smaller rainbow trout. And Charlotte.

This is such a dad thing for me- holding a bucket of fish food and telling the group of kids how to throw it in and take turns. Notice the greenery in the background- the part of AZ I grew up in was green.

Lots of dad/kid pictures in this post- apparently the dads were in charge of making sure the kids didn't decide to go swimming with the fish.

I love that my 82 year old grandpa with his walker went on the nature walk with us- he actually spent all day and went to Mexican food, bowling, and stayed for the program and s'mores!

Olly enjoyed some of the wild blackberries.

One of the springs of Page Springs Hatchery- it took me a long time to get used to city water after drinking this for 18 years.

My favorite part of the hatchery up by the spring.  Charlotte is off with her cousins- like I said we didn't see much of her!
