splashing in the river...

We strolled down to the spot we like on the river behind Grammy's house one day for a little guppy and crayfish catching. Armed with spaghetti strainers and buckets, we were no match for those darn fast guppies. We did catch a crayfish -- neither kid had any interest in holding it -- and Gage just looked at and made pinching motions with his hands. Can't blame them, thinking back to many a crayfish pinch of my younger days! Savannah was nice enough to gather up a bucket full of perfectly good small rocks for Gage to throw into the water, but he was not at all interested in those rocks. Instead, he wanted to wade into the deep water and pick up gigantic rocks he could hardly hold to throw and then make a pumping show of success with his fist. Such a boy....
