Ice Fishing

It was such a beautiful day yesterday, we couldn't let it go to waste...so Daddy came up with idea of trying some ice fishing.

Turned out to be a great idea (almost...but I'll get to that in a minute)

The minute the first hook went down, Colton had one

and another

and another

It was the same for Bryce, too.

One after another

and another...

Poor dad couldn't get a break.

This was taken near the end of our little adventure

and surprisingly Colton still has a smile on his face

despite the fact that he stepped through one of our fishing

holes accidentally 5 minutes into it and suffered through

with a soaked foot and leg.

He did so great.

We snowmobiled out onto the Little Wood Reservoir

north of Carey, Idaho

to catch our fish

We caught so many we just started putting them back.

Great way to start the boys fishing, huh?

Or maybe not. They may think its always like that.

And I know it isn't

(which is why I really never liked fishing--but

fishing like this I could definitly do)

Bryce was a born fisherman

Behold our dinner for the night

(and another night down the road)

We reluctantly spared you the pictures of the bones of our eaten fish

with bulging white eyeballs. :) Mmmm....Yummy.

All I can say is thank goodness for a husband

ready, willing, and able to clean these things...

and cook them...

or these boys wouldn't be tasting their catch.
