A trip to the cabin... but no ice fishing!

Friday we arrived at the cabin around 11 am.  We ate some lunch, played with the kids a little and then headed down to the Lake for some ice fishing.  Imagine our surprise when we saw open water.  Lots of it!  Most of the open water was in the middle of the lake with the ice still pretty thick and sturdy in the protected coves.  But, with the kiddos, we didn't want to chance it.  (Okay, I was super nervous and Clint is a great hubby, so we decided not to go.)  Well, about a week ago the weather really warmed up and we had super high winds.  The combination of the two ruined our ice fishing plans!!!  Although it is still about 2 feet thick up at Lake Francis, so all may not be lost!!!

Since we couldn't fish, we took another nice drive and admired the beautiful landscape and wildlife!  Then we just enjoyed hanging out with the family up at the cabin and at home!

Dane LOVES setting up his tent in the cabin and "camping".  Here he is having a great time.  I could hardly get him to hold still to take his picture!
