Ice Fishing

Last weekend my Dad took us up to Strawberry Reservoir and we went ICE FISHING! We brought our really great friends and my sister-in-law and my brother. But it was a blast.
We woke up extra early to pick everyone up and we took off on the road. On the road we played "I'm going on a camping trip..." to which I kept butting in not knowing it wasn't my turn until I got to the middle of the alphabet and then stopped when everyone was laughing. Yes, it happened more than once. :) Right before we got there we saw a white truck caught in the snow and so with our handy dandy winch we pulled them out.
     When we got to the lake we layered our clothing which seemed as though we all looked like we gained 5-10 pounds. We set everything down in a nice area and we started making holes with the Auggers.
                     This is the first hole that we started.
                   A little bit away we started another one.
    Meanwhile back at the first one they are still going after Dad and my brother have already made 4 others.

  How many people does it take to drill a hole? Finally help steps in and we answer the question.

      We really had a great time, here are some more pictures.
                                   


I actually fell asleep in the sled at one point and there is nothing better than cheeze-its and Harry Potter.
 By the end of the trip we realized that we didn't use as many layers as we thought we would. We didn't catch anything (we almost pulled in 1 and we got a couple of bites) The only thing we caught was a sunburn. The day wasn't a total loss because we took the sleds and went sledding after.
