Ice Fishing

With the snow falling here in April I thought I would get around to posting pictures of my boys going ice fishing. My oldest had a blast when him and his dad and a friend entered a hunting and fishing contest. They made a long trek to the ice covered pond to fish and shot bunnies of the ice. They had a great time, gone all day, and catching some pretty big fish. When the day was over they packed up to head in for check-in. But instead of making it in on time to weigh in their fish, they got stuck for about 3 hours with no cell service. But through Prayer and Faith, their old toothless angle came and pulled them out. They missed check-in and was a little disappointed because Carter would have won the biggest fish of the day!

Well that didn't damper their spirits because the next week they went out again, different spot this time, and they even took my youngest. They all had a ball. And yes my biggest fear came true, my youngest fell into an ice fishing hole. Only one foot made it in the water, but it scared him pretty good. (Yes, my husband did leave the two boys alone at the time, the 7 year old in charge while he went to take care of something in the trees.) But in his defence his cousin (an adult) was right there to keep an eye on the two. Everyone seem to have a great time.
