The kids and I went for a hike up Indian River Valley so I could switch out the ibuttons. They brought snowshoes, while I slogged through waist deep snow in the muskegs.

Connor and Rowan’s Cohos
Connor and Rowan brought back a couple of silver salmon from fishing down by the Sheldon Jackson hatchery.
Deer Mouse
Connor has been working on various traps for some time now and lately he got a friends’ dad to help him build a wooden box trap. He and Rowan were pretty excited to catch a deer mouse and brought it home for me to take some pictures of.
Fishing for Pinks
Pinks are in at the Sheldon Jackson hatchery, and Connor was pretty enthusiastic about catching them.
Connor’s Catch
Pink Salmon are back in at the Sheldon Jackson Hatchery, and Connor is excited to catch them. Today he brought home two.

The kids and I were able to go out to Dog Point to help with some smoked salmon. While there, Rowan found a beetle for me to photograph.
