Today was a short 2 hour drive to Mt. Shasta, California to visit the area and spend time with friends.

Friday afternoon, the girls visited a fish hatchery, which had some cool trout, including a couple of orange ones, that looked like someone's Koi had been messing around in the tank, if you know what I mean. ;->

We spent Thursday around the Mt. Shasta area, hiking and visiting a great lake. This is a really beautiful area. We saw some absolutely huge Douglas Fir trees, and enjoyed a fun 4 mile hike. We also spent some time at a local lake here so the girls could swim a bit.

Mount Shasta was fun. We got to swim in the lake. It wasn’t very cold. It was called Lake Sisikyou. It was cool. Mount Shasta is a volcano. We got to see a puzzle plant.
They come apart and go back together. It doesn’t harm them. I would like one.

We were just in Mt. Shasta. Mt. Shasta is a volcano that hasn’t erupted in about 250 years. We saw a museum that gave us lots of info on the volcano. Like the first person to reach its top. After that we saw the fish hatchery which is where we fed the fish. The day after we arrived in Mt. Shasta we took a 4 mile hike. It was so beautiful. I had a lot of fun. Hopefully we go again!
