Aidan all ready to dig into the bowels of the pumpkin with his pumpkin gut scoop
Apparently the scoop was too much of a hassel for Aidan and he decided to get his hands dirty and gut the pumpkin with his bare hands. That's my boy!
The finished product!
I guess Aidan liked the squishiness off all the pumpkin guts. Ha ha!
THE SALMON RUN
Goldstream has a world-class salmon spawning stream with thousands of Chum Salmon returning each year. Bright colours and hooked jaws develop on male Chum salmon after they enter breeding streams. This accounts for the very different appearance these fish have from when they are caught in the ocean.
Every autumn, million of Pacific salmon forge their way up the myriad streams of the Pacific northwest to spawn and die. Pacific salmon have always been fishes of mystery. We know them well as fine food, and as superb sport fish, but the details of how they spend their time in the ocean and of how they find their way back to their home pools in their parent streams are even today not fully understood.
In Goldstream, salmon appear about mid-October, and may be seen for about nine weeks, the dates varying from year to year. Of the five kinds of North American Pacific salmon it is the Chum salmon that is most abundant in this river, though you may also see some Coho and Chinook salmon, as well as the Steelhead and the Cutthroat trout.
Salmon swimming upstream to spawn
Aidan learned to wave and he's showing off here. So cute! I just wished I didn't have the 'crazy eyes' in the picture :o(
Aidan and daddy! What a great picture.
Having a good time in his stroller
And that look said it all. It was time for us to get the heck out of Goldstream park and do something else. Our little prince had just enough of looking and smelling the salmon
