Fish Hatchery

Last Saturday, we took our nieces to the Fish Hatchery.  When I asked her if she'd like to go, my seven year old niece asked me if there would be piranha there.  :D  I had to explain that they raise trout there to stock ponds and lakes in the area.  ( After looking at the website, I discovered they actually stock fish throughout the state and region, not just Long Island.)

The girls seemed to have a good time.  We bought a big container of fish food, and the fish go crazy when you toss a handful in their pool.  It's hard to make out individual fish in the pictures I took, so I'm posting a picture of the turtles sunning themselves.
