Kayaking on the Snake

We went kayaking one afternoon on the river below Jackson dam while my dad was up visiting. Almost didn't go because of rain clouds. But we got to see 3 otters eating a fish and a moose with her calf in the river, a golden eagle and other birds. Needless to say we are happy we went.

Here is Mare on a rare break from the kids :)

Got to see this eagle on two different sides of the river this one had better sunlight on it.

Here is the moose. The mom was in the river the whole time. The baby came out of the willows walked along the shore then bounded through the river passed her mom and onto the other side.

Me and the boys were paddeling up river to meet my dad and Peg, when we came to a slight bend and saw these otters. I just banked about 10-15 feet away and watched them. We could hear them chomping on the fish.

They were really fun to watch. Deacon said that otters were way cooler than moose.
