River Rats

We had a chance to go to the River to clean up a little on Tues before the holidays. Aiden ask every single time we cross the lake if we are going to the River. He loves it. We took Aiden and Allee and got a sitter for Evan. We intended on letting the kids do some fishing, but when we arrived, we found the trace of outdoor critters inside our camper and spent the entire day vacuming and cleaning. Allee and Aiden were left to entertain themselves. We had a tarp over the camper for the winter and had it laid on the ground drying before folding. When I went outside to check on the kids, I found them with their fishing poles, standing in their wagon, FISHING! They were using the tarp as the water and the wagon was the boat. It was the cutest thing. Their poles aren't even rigged for fishing yet, which is probably a good thing considering Aiden kept getting his line tangled. Can you imagine how many times they would have hooked each other. The cutest thing was when Aiden came into the camper and I asked were they having fun fishing, he said, with a very serious look, "Yeah, but we ain't catching a thing!"
