The boys wanted to help me wrote my blog after we canoed Thurs night but we couldn't get internet service and then last night they fell asleep practically when we walked in the door so I am going to try and write it tonight while they are sleeping at their grandparents house.  Maybe they will give me some more details tomorrow!

B was the best catcher of the minnows . He used a little net his Dad bought him and I told him to put a chip in it (I had dropped a burnt one on the ground and it seemed like a good way to make him fish with them) and he went to town and caught all kinds of them!  He was so cute and proud of himself. His Dad would then put them on his line and fish with them. They caught two big ones but somehow they escaped before we got them in.  B tried to reel one in and so did M.  But they still were excited that they got to fight them.  Everytime B would catch a minnow we'd put it in a water bottle. We had a few going since he had caught so much. And yes Mommy actually had to touch them to put them in the bottle.  I know shocker.  The things you do for your kids.  M caught his first fish and it was a nice size.  He did it all himself.  He has really turned into a little fisherman.  We had a great time stopping on the side of the banks to swim and have lunch.  We saw a goat on the side of the creek (kinda on a mountain), cows, turtles, blue herron, NO SNAKES thankfully, and other things the boys will remind me of tomrrow.  We were even going down the river while the boys were telling me what I should write in my blog when we got home!  It was a beautiful two days.  Our cabin was very cool. They just renovated the old one that their Dad and I use to stay in with 3 beds now.  And it looks just like a cabin so they thought it was very cool.  M said it was the best.  The next day we werent sure if we'd canoe again or go home but they talked us into staying and canoeing again.  It was  great family time.  Then we ate at the pizza place their Dad and I always eat at in town. Yum, They really liked it.
