Ice fishing

Ice fishing this year has been a challenge.  Emily has been waiting all fall and finally the weekend came. 3 hour drive to get there and upon arrival, roads to the ice house were closed.  So two very disappointed kids and Chris turned around and came home.  2 weeks later they attempt it again and finally they get to stay and play where, as Emily puts it, "there are no rules, just fun and food".

Dad cooks and they watch movies and fish.  

1st catch.  Walleye caught at Lake of the Woods.

Kids are disappointed, they caught this fish as Chris was packing up and they couldn't eat it.

Playtime

Emily going to work.

I got to babysit for her.  Computer, sunglasses and shoes, check.

Moving to Africa

Emily has decided to take her animals on the plane and move to Africa where it is always sunny and warm.  I guess she tired of the cold and being in indoors.  Bags are packed.

Reception

 

While the Bride and Groom traveled back from Bismarck, the reception was set up.
