Ice Fishing

On Saturday Dustyn, Dad, Chet and I went Ice Fishing. My dad's friend also came along. We went to Yuba Reservoir. Of course, dad still has a cast:
on his ankle, so Chet and Ron pulled him across the lake. Nice!
It was a COLD day. Luckily we had our Ice Fishing Tents. This is the part that makes Ice Fishing fun! We turn on the little heater and get nice and toasty and then just sit back and relax. The fishing was slow. I caught 2, Dustyn caught 2, Dad caught 2 and Chet caught 1. (if I remember correctly). They were all perch. It was a lot of fun. The tent that Dustyn and I were using was the same one that we were using last year. The smells of all the fish we caught and all the bait we used last year sat in there all summer. Lets just say, the smell was less than desirable. Blech. It kinda smelled like the poop pond. :p Yuck.
Of course Dustyn took a nap. I played around with my camera. Not much to photograph in a small Ice Fishing tent, but it was entertaining.
We came home, got warm, and took a nap! That evening we all went to Frontier Village to celebrate Chelle's birthday. It was fun! The twins are getting so big and are so cute. Dustyn and I get to babysit them next week for over night. I am pretty excited!
After we went to Grandma and Grandpa Dotson's for Hot Fudge Sundays and Banana Splits. They were yummy! :)
Happy Birthday Chelle!

Ice Fishing!


We are so excited for it to be Ice Fishing Season!! We were thinking about going tomorrow and trying out dad's new gas Ice Auger. But there is a storm rolling in and it is suppose to be a good one! There is a possibility of a few inches in the valleys. Of course it seems like all the snow and rain just kinda skip over our little valley.... so we more than likely won't get much.

You would think that would be a good thing... for the weather to skip over us and to have a mild winter, but at the same time, if we are going to have the below freezing temperatures, we might as well have the snow to go along with the temps! :)

It was nice today, in the lower 50's. But right now the wind is blowing like crazy. I am hoping that our trees and house are still standing in the morning.

Other than that... not much happening around here today.

I am super excited to watch American Idol soon. It is tempting to get our dish hooked up again or get cable so we can watch. How lame am I? But I am thinking we will just end up at Mom and Dad's house on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. I hate when I get so consumed into watching a TV show. It seems silly. But I sure enjoy it anyways! As long as it is only one show that I just can't miss.

Well I guess enough of this rambling. I will be back when I actually have something to say. :)
