Idaho, Day 3

Our third day of vacation was packed with activities. We started off the day by going to the fish hatchery and Warm River to go feed fish. We got little food pellets and threw them into the water. The fish would all rush to where we threw the food. The kids thought that was so cool and we fed the fish for quite some time. There were some pretty big fish there.

Then we went to Mesa Falls, which is where DH and I got engaged. It has changed quite a bit since the last time we were there. When we got engaged we hiked down to the bottom of the falls. That is where he proposed. Now, they have that entire area fenced off so that you can't even go down to the bottom. The falls are huge and very beautiful. It is so peaceful there. There was a beatiful rainbow there too, which was very cool. It was actually a double rainbow which is very rare, but the second rainbow didn't show up in the picture. Darn! We had fun showing the kids the spot where we got engaged and they all giggled at us. When we finished looking at the falls we went to the little museum/gift shop that they now have there. They had skins of different animals that you could hold and try to guess what they were. They also showed the different sizes of paw prints and teeth of different animals. It was a hands-on area, so that was neat for the kids to actually be able to hold the skins and feel what they were like.
