What could be more fun than spending the day on the ice in the freezing wind? Well,Brooke may have some suggestions but she was a good sport to face the elements as we went to Starvation and met Uncle Doug.
We were a little nervous at first because Doug's leg went right through the ice as we were walking on the lake. That couldn't help but make up tread lightly. Greg Wheeler and his buddies were there ready to meet us with the augers and they quickly helped us drill the holes.
Then we scooped out the ice.
And began to sit and wait...and wait...and wait.
And wait. Mariah, Abby and Brooke finally gave up and went to the gas station to buy hot chocolate. We moved to a different spot and dug new holes to see if we could have any better luck.
Doug and Dave actually fell through two "unknown" holes and we think that got their heart rates going pretty good. Needless to say, those wet feet did not feel that good on that cold ice.
Finally, we had all decided that it was time to go home after a a very "unsuccessful" day. Then the miracle happened! One fish...was caught...by me......and it was a nice large rainbow!
This guy was our tasty lunch. YUM. I think I could like fishing.
