Okay, so many of you know I have fears. One of the many, is ice fishing. It's not the fishing that freaks me, it's the standing on top of a frozen lake, hearing cracking ice....YIKES! In years past, G would take the kids ice fishing. I would stay home and busy myself so I wouldn't think about what was happening at the lake, i.e., kid's falling through the ice, etc. I guess many people get pleasure from this "sport", but it's beyond my imagination.
This weekend, G, H and A went with friends to Fish Lake. They had a great time and caught lots of fish.
This is H. He claims to have caught the most fish on the trip.
Cody B taking it easy snacking while fishing. 
Nick S also chill-laxing. (Do they not get the potential danger involved here?)
G and H
H with a small perch. Pretty fish but it has sharp spines. A took the pictures so he is not posted here. He claims to have caught the largest fish.
This is Nick S. on 1/2 inch thick ice. They assure me he is near shore, but somehow that doesn't make me feel any better. Nick....tsk, tsk, tsk. Great form, however.
Not all the fun was on the ice. I suppose it is safe to say, "what happens at Fish Lake, stays at Fish Lake". They stayed in one of Nick's ancestor's home which hasn't really been lived in since the 30's, yet the family keeps it as it was then. A took lots of pictures of the old house. He loved that they had dynamite in the basement, old canned peaches, and furniture from the 30's. 
I guess it is these kind of trips that make men out of boys. I was glad they made it home in one piece. My friend Colette told me of a kid in Monroe who fell through the ice on Saturday....it was at Fish Lake. Okay, my fears are confirmed!!!

I don't understand this either. But Ben always goes with his uncle a couples times a winter. I just try to not think about what he's doing...I'm with you there!
That looks sooooo boring! I am glad they enjoy themselves though. The house looked like the most fun!
