Shirokarasu and his kids...

[misterx]

We were looking for something to do so we took the kids to see the fish at the Erwin fish hatchery. Sounds weird I know but it's pretty amazing seeing all those fish when you're a kid. This is something I learned from my parents "how to entertain kids on very little money" strategies from my youth.

shirokarasu and his daughter Kira

Kira


Storm's friend Ayla


There are big canvas quonset huts over half of each fish pool. The pools themselves are shallow concrete, with water flowing from end to end. They have doors where you can peek in.


Kira borrowed Shirokarasu's camera






Ayla caught it


Another of Kira and her dad


Not sure what she was doing with a sushi mat and polished rocks, but she was doing it intently

Great photos, and neat looking kids, every one of them.

Thanks.

An Ayla! That's so cool!

[misterx.livejournal.com]

you know the Ayla?

[rhapsody-98.livejournal.com]

No, but I read Clan of the Cave Bear, which I suspect Ayla's mother did, too!

Ooooo Kira has the new Lowepro bag I have my eye on...

[misterx.livejournal.com]

well... Shiro has it, she was borrowing the whole kit

[chelchik.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, I didn't notice that, it's perfect! What model is that, do you know?

[misterx.livejournal.com]

I can't recall, but Jym knows. (obviously)

[chelchik.livejournal.com]

If you remember, would you ask him please? I've been looking for something like that.

[shirokarasu.livejournal.com]

YOu know.... you can ask me.... It is the Slingshot 100 AW. There is very little difference between it and the 200. The 200 is slightly bigger. Same amount of pockets and features. I absolutely love mine.

[natf.livejournal.com]

Ah - thanks for that! ;-p
How much bigger was the 200? I have some pretty large lenses... hehehe

[natf.livejournal.com]

It is brand new and you can pull it round to your front to load/unload your camera/lenses. I am afraid that I cannot remember its mane - someting about a sling I think...
