A night at the cabin!

Last weekend we made it up to the cabin for the night.  We debated and were on the fence about where to go ice fishing...  we actually had loaded up and were headed to Tiber Reservoir.  But, we were getting a late start and had to run a few errands before we could leave town.  So, after doing a couple things, we agreed to go back home, load up the few extra things that would get us through a night at the cabin, and off we went!

Even Shep got to come along and had a great time.  Here are the boys relaxing in their "homes away from home".

The first day it was snowing and pretty cold!  Not to mention we weren't catching many fish.  But, we still enjoyed the little pleasures...  like making snow angels!

Dane proudly carried around the one nice fish that Clint landed. 

The snow was made up of all these beautiful perfect snowflakes.  I just couldn't get enough of them!

Kimber with her Daddy...  Poor thing, I did make her wear the Minnie Mouse Balaclava that day since it was so cold.  Plus, I thought she just looked cute!

Then Dane had the great idea to make a fire.  There aren't a whole lot of trees right there, but we made due with what could find.  Here is Kimber helping find some sticks.

Clint working his magic with "fire sticks".  (that's what Dane calls matches)

Shep and Bones checking out the fish... 

The evening in the cabin was pretty fun too!  Kimber decided to play dress up with my boots and socks...

But, she felt like something was missing...

Then she added Dane's underwear and was quite pleased with the outfit that she had come up with.

Shep did great in the cabin with the kids and all of the hustle and bustle.  He is kind of like a bull in a china shop, but that is probably a combination of being a big puppy and not really ever being inside just to hang out.

Then on Saturday our friend Mike brought his two boys, Ashton and Aiden up to fish with us.  They must have been our good luck charms, cause the fishing heated up and we started catching some nice trout.

I never get tired of the views at the cabin!
