ON ELECTION DAY... WE TOOK A DAY TRIP TO KALAMAZOO AND VISITED A NATURE CENTER AND HUGE FISH HATCHERY... WELL LET ME CLEAR SOMETHING UP...IT WASN'T EXACTLY BECAUSE WE ARE THE PERFECT ADVENTURE-OPPORTUNITY SEEKING-FAMILY, WITH NOTHING BETTER TO DO ON A BEAUTIFUL TUESDAY IN NOVEMEBER.... THE TRUTH IS, BRAD HAS BEEN GROWING INCREASINGLY GRUMPY WITHOUT A PICK-UP! TRYING TO FIND THE EXACT SIZE, MAKE AND STYLE...WITHIN OUR PRICE RANGE HAS BEEN AN UNWANTED, DAUNTING CHALLENGE, SINCE HIS UNEXPECTED TRUCK ACCIDENT...WHICH WAS NOT HIS FAULT...WHICH MEANS WE'RE ABLE TO RECEIVE AN EXTRA $500.00 IN INSURANCE... OKAY, THAT SAID.... I PACKED TOMMIE'S CLIPBOARD WITH MATH PAGES ON IT AND OTHER LESSONS- AND MADE SURE TO PACK EXTRA PENCILS...BECAUSE A LOT OF THE TIME, WHEN WE'RE ON THE ROAD, HE SEEMS TO BREAK MOST OF HIS PENCIL LEADS... WHICH MEANS HE JUST CAN'T FINISH HIS LESSONS WITHOUT A PENCIL ... I KNOW YOU FIND IT HARD TO BELEIVE, THAT MY BLINDLY OBEDIENT SON WOULD BREAK LEADS ON PURPOSE TO GET OUT OF CAR-SCHOOLING... BUT, FRIENDS... IT'S A FACT. OKAY, THAT SAID.... RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE CAR DEALERSHIP WAS THIS GIGANTIC FISH HATCHERY AND SMALL NATURE CENTER... SO, WITH BRAD BEING MR. HAPPY MAN WITH HIS NEW TRUCK... WE ALL AGREED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE FAMILY FIELDTRIP... OKAY, THAT SAID... BELOW: I THINK THIS IS A STURGEON... THERE WERE THOUSANDS (WELL, HUNDREDS) OF THEM!
THIS IS THE FISH TRUCK THAT IS USED TO TRANSPORT AND RELEASE FISH BACK INTO THE LAKES AND RIVERS....
I'D LIKE TO SAY THIS IS A HUMMINGBIRD NEST...IT WAS REALLY SMALL...BUT AFTER INTERNET RESEARCH IT DOESN'T REALLY FIT THE DESCRIPTION.
THIS IS THE BIG, LONG FISH HATCHERY...FILLED WITH A BAZILLION EGGS AND MINNOWS!
IT ENDED UP BEING AN ENJOYABLE DAY... EVEN THOUGH OUR CANDIDATE DID NOT WIN.
