Who can pass up raw potatoes and lettuce???

Not this guy. . .

These two can't.

Nope, neither can these guys!

Some Lake of the Woods

Some getting stuck. . .

Some wrestling, I mean practicing cop moves. . .

Some trophy fishing . . .

Some changing a flat tire. . .

LOVE the Lake of the Woods trip!

Back to winter. . .

Have no fear, I am still here! I am not sure if anyone really missed me on here, but I have a list of excuses if ya need them. For the next month, I may just be catching up on "winterness" and how appropriate with the wonderful storm we just got!
SO, here is my dad with his fish. . . well, I wanted to take a picture, but it was already down the hole. . . thanks a lot!

Calvin with a keeper!

My MOM with her first fish off a tip up. I could not believe this. I guess she is just going to have to work on her speed on the ice, first one there gets it, and watch out for Calvin, he will do what it takes to get there first. . .

My keeper! Pulled this one out of a hole in the house. Picture this:

Amanda's bobber goes down. . . Amanda sets the hook

Amanda is reeling up a huge crappie (so she thinks)

Amanda crouches down by the hole and is getting ready to grab her "huge crappie"

Amanda screams because she just tried reaching for the biggest fish she has ever seen, and it bit her (well almost)

Chad helps get fish out of hole, then proceeds to tell Amanda that when she has a fish that big, she should let someone know so they can help sooner

Dad and Calvin and Uncle Paul and friends are outside wondering if Amanda fell in.

Oh it still makes me laugh. The fish smiled for the picture and back down the hole she went, she was just too big to eat!


Here are some of the keeps of the day! It was a beautiful day, I hope I never lose the ability to talk people into going fishing when there is work to be done!
