1 Out for a hike to explore Dogfish Creek. This little cat joined us the whole way!
2 Making a fish face, since we're hunting for salmon!

4 Who is teaching who?
5 Now at the Fish Park in Poulsbo...is this a big fish? Or a bike rack? Play structure?
6 Definitely fun!
7 The viewing area near the estuary.
8 Really good information to absorb here. I am getting better at speed reading so I can try to retain something of what I read while out with the kids!
9 The boardwalk...what are they doing?
10 I just got done saying - it's a bit slippery! This is an alder grove - a sure sign that it is wetlands.
11 Oops! Yup - slippery!
12 Then to the Poulsbo Marine Science Center. The docents showed us how to pick up sea stars. They turn their stomachs inside out and stick them out of their body into the mussels they are eating.
13 Sam is very brave. And that water is VERY cold. It comes in right from the bay.
14 Very smooth and slippery underneath.
15 Pretty colors, isn't it?
16 This one is regenerating a missing leg - getting two for the price of one!
17 Those are the suckers underneath that help them hold onto prey.
18 Can you find the wolf eel? He is grey.
19 Then to JJ's Fish House to finish off FISH DAY! Yum!
