Ice Fishing Jan'12

We went ice fishing last month and I wanted to post some cute pics from the day. We left on a Saturday after Cooper's Jr. Jazz game and headed south. We got to the lake and fished the last couple hours before dark. It was a little cold and windy. Thank heaven for our friend Alan who brought his ginormous ice tent.  After dark we headed into a little town to get some dinner and spend the night.  My kids love to stay in a hotel.  They think it's the coolest thing ever.  I love to share their excitement.  And the best part, they had a pool!  We even warmed up some in the hot tub.

 

We got up the next day and headed back to the lake.  We caught a good number of perch and trout.  We also took the stuff so we could cook the fish right on the ice.  They were so tasty! 

This trip was a little extra special for Jayson and I because the kids really showed an interest in fishing.  They each caught fish all on their own.  By all on their own I mean they let the line down, reeled it up just a bit, sat patiently jigging every so often and setting the hook!  Then they reeled those puppies in all by their little selves.  They were both so proud.  And so were we!

Here are a few more fun pics from the day.....
