Our Stops on Our Journey

We spent a couple of days in "boduck" Oregon AKA Pendleton Oregon. It really is one of those hole in the wall places that you wander what people do for a living. LOL. We figured that we would stop here on our way to the coast. They had a very nice outdoor pool and the kids had a great time there.

The wind was a little bit cold so Darien decided to stay under water to stay warm.

They had a lot of fun things for the kids to play on.

It was a great way to spend the day and burn up some energy before carrying on our way.

The next day we stopped at the Bonneville Dam. This was so interesting and the kids were amazed by the size and the amount of water that comes out. They don't open the flood gates very often but we were lucky enough to see it that day.

The workings inside the dam. These turbines are huge.
They had this really cool hatchery and fish couting display. It was so neat to watch the boys get excited when a fish would swim by. I just couldn't resist the picture.


Who knew that sturgeon fish could get so large. This was crazy. This one fish was over 10 feet long.

There was so much to do here that we wish that we had more time. But there is always next time.
