Athens Fish Hatchery

Our first stop as we set off to the hatchery for the day, was the Mennonite bakery in Kemp. We stopped to get our breakfast and to pack a lunch - they make THE BEST sandwiches! They also have handmade furniture - Maggie and Justin have decided that they would like these giant chairs!


Don't let this pic fool you - she DOES NOT fish - EVER!
She was just kind enough to hold our poles for a minute.

Tim, on the other hand - could fish all day long! He takes after me in that regard!

If you make the fish think that you have food, and then they find out that you really don't ....

they retaliate by splashing - a lot!

Oh wait - here is some food for them! Tim was NOT happy about this threat!

inside the hatchery - somehow I don't think they learned very much from the exhibits!

That place is fun! We went there a couple weeks ago. And yeah I touched those huge fish and they tried to eat me pretty much.
