Ice Fishing

Ice fishing season will soon be over for the year. The days are getting warmer and the ice is slowly disappearing. My family went out onto the ice Wednesday for our final ice fishing outing. It was great weather for us, but not so great for catching fish. There were 19 members of my family out on the ice and only 2 small fish caught. During the day it warmed up so much that the top layer of ice, on the river, turned to slush under our feet and it was threatening to let go of the shore where we originally crossed to get out to the ice shack. I am not sure how my uncle will be getting the shack back off, but he better hurry up.

Fishing isn't the only thing we did that day. There was a lot of talking and laughing and eating. The kids went sledding on one side of the river, (the side with snow) and climbed rocks on the other side of the river (the side without snow). My daughter and I took some photos of our day that we would like to share.

Spring Break is Over

Spring break is coming to a close and let me tell you we are all very tired in this household, adults and children alike. Our days have been full of activity in the great out of doors. By evening we've been stumbling into the house just to fall into bed. Last evening I believe I was the first one to head to bed at 9:30 pm.

Our plans for this past week were originally to prime and paint the dining room and kitchen, but that never happened. Instead we attended weiner roasts, bonfires, went ice fishing, etc. We had a blast, however; my husband is feeling guilty for not getting household chores done on his days off (He took the whole week off to work on the house. I told him that it wasn't a good idea to take his time off during March break ). I guess there is always tomorrow to get some work done.
