Fishing Expedition

The Lil-Le-Hi Trout Nursery is just south of Allentown, and it's where the City raises fish to stock the Lehigh River and Jordan Creeks for recreational fishing. I would NEVER eat ANYTHING out of any body of water in Allentown or Bethlehem, but a lot of people do, so there ya go.

Anyway, the Nursery is a GREAT place for toddlers. If the giant tubs of rainbow trout aren't exciting enough, you can buy big bags of fish food and feed the suckers, which guarantees a frantic, flapping, fishy fiesta with every greasy handful. Alison and her buddy Jason loved it, and we all actually spent over an hour there, which was a lot more than we were expecting. There were lots of other toddlers there too, so it seems to be a tot hot spot.

They also have an arboretum there, so when Boo and Jason were finally over the fish, they chased each other through the trees. It was cute-- she kept snatching his hat, and he kept grabbing her ponytail, and they would giggle like crazy and shriek and take off for another 90 laps around the oaks.

Yesterday we went back to day care after a week-long break, and Alison slipped noiselessly into the stream of things back there. Today we're off to Sam's trainer's farm to practice some agility before it gets too hot, and tonight is the first show of the Upper Saucon concert series. Summer is pretty much underway!
