Boys + Water = Fun

Saturday was such a gorgeous Spring day, so we decided to take advantage of that by going for a walk. We many times ask the boys where they want to go as we want them to be able to choose our destination and what we might see along the way.  Today, they said that they wanted to go check out the Pine River and see if we could catch some crayfish, so Kris grabbed a bucket and away we went!

When we got down to the river, we all commented on how crystal clear the water was.  It was so pretty! Kris noticed right away that some sandhill cranes had been walking in the water as their prints were still in the sand on the bottom.  I was able to snap a picture of their prints.

Once we got to the water, all 5 of my boys were in and out of the water.  Kris said seeing the boys trying to explore in the water reminded him so much of his childhood where he was in the water looking for turtles and frogs.  They spotted a few crayfish, but none that they could catch from where they were located, so we went home empty handed, but they had so much fun.
