ICE FISHING!

My little marshmallow man! LOVES the snow and the outdoors! Although he was sorely disappointed this morning when the snow came again. He was ready for playing outside with NO snow pants. Has to be hard moving around as a marshmallow. :) He stayed awake for most of the fishing trip, well about half maybe and then while we all sat inside the tent to fish, he slept in the nice warm bronco for a few hours. He was so excited to fish after he woke up though so for a few minutes he held a fishing pole and teased the minnows. Exciting day!

One of our friends brought their dog out to play, and hitched a sled up to her harness so she could pull the kids around. It was her,the dogs, first time trying the whole harness and pulling people around thing. She did great and the kids LOVED it!!

Our other activity was "sledding" behind the bronco. Tied a sled to the hitch in back and pulled everyone across the snow for a while. Such fun! I was really tempted to try it with the kids, then thought better of it, as I am well known for my prone-ness to accidents. Rolling around on a big belly isn't such a great idea.


The Six man tent, we fit four couples and two kids into, five or six holes 10" wide, with the awesome auger R got for his birthday. Back by Mud Lake it was calm and sunny and beautiful, the rest of the Valley was windy and miserable!



One of my "big fish! There were tons of minnows going after our bait, and a hand full of these guys that would get snagged every now and then. There was one actual good size fish we all saw but never caught. It's alright he was ugly anyways! Although we didn't take home any "eating" fish, it was such a blast! Wonderful company and tons of fun watching "fish."




On our way out we stopped at a look out spot, a quick hike and you get this view! It was incredible. To the left you could look up the mountain range to the glacier and then to the right was the inlet. SO beautiful out there.

  2. That was a super fun trip! I'm surprised E went back in the tent to fish when we all got sick of fishing. She's such an outdoors woman.
