Ice Fishing

On Sunday, after we got home from Church (We love 9 AM Church!!), Nick took Carson and Kaylee down to Holden. They were going Ice Fishing with Grandma Karen and Papa bright and early Monday Morning.  It was Martin Luther King Jr Day, so they didn't have school or work!  They drove over to Otter Creek to do the fishing.  Nick and Karen did a great job taking pictures for me since I wasn't there.  Livy and I enjoyed just staying home and hanging out!  Here are some fun pictures from their fishing trip.

 It was a pleasant morning to begin with.  They had caught two or three fish before it started to get windy.        Then it started snowing and before they knew it they were in the middle of a blizzard.  I guess Karen was inside the tent with the two kids when a gust of wind came up and actually blew the tent with everyone inside across the lake about 20 feet.  It was a little scary according to Carson who said he cried.  But he was crying mainly because he didn't want to loose his new spiderman fishing pole that was still in a whole and actually had a fish on it when the blizzard hit.  They managed to get a total of 5 fish, including 2 that were on the line when the blizzard hit.  They scrambled back to the truck and loaded everything up in a hurry!  Despite the trip getting cut a few hours short because of the weather, they had a great time and they have been talking about it non stop since they got home!

Nick said they had a blast and they can't wait to go again next year!  They have been ice fishing on this same weekend for the past three years.  I think it is going to be a fun tradition to continue!
