ULPT request: How to get out of watching young cousins

Today my family is having a Memorial Day cookout and my aunt and uncle and their 3 kids (ages 9 and 10) are coming from out of town. My mom is trying to make my bf and I (20 and 21) take them down to the river by our neighborhood. Both of us strongly dislike children, and to make matters worse, they’re going through a Harry Potter phase (I’ve always hated Harry Potter, even as a kid). How do we get out of talking to/supervising/entertaining 3 kids for several hours today and beyond? I’ve considered telling them about all of the scary venomous snakes and snapping turtles to get out of going to the river, but that doesn’t solve the core issue of making sure they want nothing to do with us, since they will around for the next month as well. It has to be kinda sly or else my mom will catch on and yell at us in front of the whole family.
