This past weekend Felix and Renae went to Albuquerque New Mexico's Hot Air Balloon Festival, and we will have a great post on that once we get the pictures from Tyler. But prior to their departure, Felix and I took a walk down to the Cedar River to watch the salmon returning to spawn. If you enlarge the picture to the left, you can read about the life cycle of the Sockeye salmon.
The area we walked to (which is just across the street from our little neighborhood) is a park up against the river. You can walk out onto a foot bridge that connects the park and the parking lot over the river, but Felix and I found a hidden path down to the river.
It was pretty neat observing the fish that close. When salmon would splash about in the shallow water, Felix would point at it and shout "I see the fish" or "the fish is splashing". It was really cute.
Our walk to the Cedar River was the Friday before Felix and Renae left for Albuquerque (they were gone from Saturday until this last Wednesday), and as much as I like spending time with Renae and the family as a whole, I really enjoy my Fridays alone with Felix.

I thought you were going to post about the balloon festival!
Remember when you had first moved up there and we went down by the river and found the rope swing off the trestle? You were all braver than me swinging out on that thing!
