Ice Fishing Round 2

Yay, for above freezing temperatures! Some of our snow melted today and we are supposed to have nice weather the rest of this week.

Last Friday night we went ice fishing with some friends from my work. We headed out around 7 and only caught a few fish, but we still had a great time.

Jason's first fish caught- not a keeper. I (with Jim's help) actually caught one before he did and we kept it...only because he had swallowed the hook.
Jason's baby fish- can you even see it?!? Here it is from the side so you can see the size a little better...and no we didn't keep this one either

We had to make a stop on the way home, a real quick one, and didn’t end up getting home until after 1!

I haven’t stayed up that late in a while and thankfully got to sleep in the next morning. I am enjoying that while I still can! Saturday we headed to New Ulm to get some much needed groceries and got there right in time to eat at Applebee’s. It is kind of our new Chili’s since we don’t have one of those nearby!

Sunday we went to a fish fry and the girls all played a game called “Partini” in the heated garage. It was a pretty cool game and we played several rounds. The guys were hanging out downstairs playing pool and looking at Jason’s hunting pictures that he took along. There was tons of food, the fish was amazing, and they even had some crawfish. I passed on them, but Jason tried them. I’m not sure he was super crazy about them though.

Not much has been going on this week, besides work and watching the final episodes of The Bachelor. Yes, we got hooked on the show this year. I had never watched it before, but I think we rarely missed an episode this season. What else do we have to on a Monday night? Tonight we are watching the Mizzou/OU game on ESPN with 30 second updates. Not the greatest, but the best we can do. Hopefully it turns out as good as it is looking right now!

I was ice-fishing at Jukkasjarvi in Sweden a couple of weeks ago. It was minus 30 degrees C & my hole froze over again after every 10 minutes - you had much more success than me!

Looks like you had a fun weekend! My parents are leaving tomorrow for Mankato and going to the Mall of America over the weekend. I'm jealous..wishing I was going! We were at the MU/OU game and it was AWESOME! The boys were hoping to see Kyle but no such luck! Hope to see you guys soon! Miss you and Take Care!
