Seattle--Fish Ladder

Right next to the Locks there is a Fish Ladder for Salmon to swim from the ocean into the lake and on to their spawning grounds. It was also free, and educational, so it was the next stop!

One of the girls handed Glenn their gloves. His ears must've been cold!



There were these cool wave sculptures, so of course we took a picture.



November is not a busy time of year for the fish ladder. At first, the only fish was this tiny guy. The kids named him Bob and cheered him on. "Go, Bob, go! You can do it! Swim, Bob, swim!!" I'm sure he appreciated the encouragement!



Is there anything in there?



And then Larry showed up. He could've easily eaten Bob. We were grateful he didn't. And a third fish showed up (the kids named him Harry!). It was almost gridlock in the Fish Ladder--three whole fish!!! Crazy!
