Let's go hatch some...fish?

It's a beautiful Saturday here! We needed to get out this morning so we took the kids to our local fish hatchery. We bought some fish food and let Chase do the rest. He had such a blast!
The fish leap and thrash all over each other when you throw in food. They totally mesmerized Alexa who just kept pointing at the fish.
There are walkways all over and Chase was quite concerned that he get to all the fish and give them all food "to make them happy". He would say "Mommy this fish doesn't look happy I need to give him some food" and proceed to toss some food in. We made quite a few fish happy let me tell you!

The fish are so used to being fed that if you walk past them and they see your shadow they will all begin swimming along next to you in hopes of some food. It was a little eerie to walk with Chase while he tossed in the food. I would look behind us and we had these huge lines of fish just following us along and joining with more fish as we walked. So cool too!

The trees are blooming and looking gorgeous everywhere!

Chase already can't wait to go back. While we were riding home in the car he was telling us stories about what the fish were saying and how they were asking for him to feed them. So much fun for him!
