Ice Fishing

Yesterday was Human Rights Day. And according to Nicholas he was going to exercise his right to Fish! So the boys headed down to Holden Sunday evening so they could head out Ice Fishing early on Monday. They went with Papa Bear to Otter Creek first. The ice was still pretty thick, but it had warmed up enough to melt the snow on top of the ice so it almost looked like it was just water. Here are a few pictures from their fun day of fishing.

They came up with a very clever way too keep their sodas cold while they were fishing. I am sure they stayed plenty cold!
After a few hours of no luck getting any fish they headed to Fish Lake. It was a little colder there since it is higher up and there was snow they had to walk through, but they enjoyed it there since there were already several holes made that they were able to use. However, they still didn't catch any fish.
Even though they didn't get any fish, they had a blast and the weather was perfect for them. They also did a good job putting on the sunscreen so they didn't have a repeat of Carson getting burnt to a crisp like he did last year when they went ice fishing. I am so glad that they were able to go and make another fun memory!
