They didn't catch any fish but we did get quite a story out of the trip. They had a bucket which they were sure if they stuck it in the water fish would swim in and they'd have it! Great plan except the rope that was tied to the bucket slipped out of their hands and started floating down the river. Landon, my very responsible, smart thinking boy, hurried to take his shoes and socks off so he could go in and get the bucket. Ryan was prepared already with water shoes (flip flops) and shorts, so Ryan just immediately started into the river to get the bucket. The bucket was swirling around in a little eddie so it hadn't gotten too far down stream but the current was enough to knock Ryan down. (I was getting the camera, thankfully, so I missed all of this...Josh was there supervising) Josh decided to let Ryan learn a little and let him safely splash himself out. Needless to say, Ryan was no longer hot and was ready to go home and have some hot chocolate. While I was taking the first picture, somehow Landon fell in but got right out but both boys were sopping wet. These pictures were taken after the bucket rescue while they were dripping wet. They still had smiles. Boys love to fish!
