Minnows

A few days ago I took Kasen out to the Snake River to "fish" and we saw lots of minnows swimming around. I waded in after some but I could never catch any. WE left that day pretty disappointed. So after Tate came home from work we convinced him that he would be a great minnow catcher and we went again in search for more minnows. We took nets with us this time and were a little better prepared with a bucket. Kasen was pretty excited. Everytime Tate would catch some he would tell him your the best minnow catcher dad! Tate ended up catching about 20 of the little things and we put them all in Kasen's little green bucket. WE tried to convince Kasen that we needed to get them into something bigger so they could swim around more...he just kept on adding more rocks and flowers to his collection. So they stayed in that bucket over night. The next morning Kasen went outside and came running back in yelling, "mom, my minnows are all Dead!" I went out and sure enough, they were all afloat! Kasen said, See mom, they can't swim anymore. So we waited til Dad got home so he could dispose of them properly and now we don't have any minnows....we will be taking another trip down to the river to get some more shortly I am sure!

Kasen pretty much loved his minnows. He kept talking to them like they were a little baby! Then he run around in a big circle going a bit crazy saying, Minnows, minnows, minnows!

Tate the official minnow catcher. AFter a while he really started to enjoy it I think!

Wading in. Kasen didn't last long in the water...he thought that his Dad did a good enough job by himself!
