ice fishing

Remember how we took my sister, Haley, swimming over the summer?  

This afternoon we went back to that same lake to do a little ice fishing.

There was about a foot of ice, and at least ten other groups of people ice fishing. 

I guess it's a big thing here.

I can see why.  It's pretty easy.

Step 1: Drill a hole in the ice using an auger.

Step 2: Use a large ladle with holes in the bottom to scoop out the ice

Step 3: Put a worm on your rod and cast your line (down the hole)

Step 4: Set up your super cush ice-fishing tent over your hole.  

Out of our 5 rods and 3.5 hours, our group caught exactly one fish.

Step 6: Be adorable.

How was your Saturday?
