Today we spent the day out at Phyllis Lake ice fishing with Grampa! There was some moaning and groaning before we left, but once we got out there, everyone had the best time! The big boys were excited to use the auger and drill the holes and everyone helped set up the big tent and cameras. It was so warm and beautiful outside that we only needed sweaters! Inside the dimly lit tent, it was easy to look down the hole and watch the fish swim by and nibble. The kids would get so excited every time they saw one! Watching Lily jump and frantically reel in her first fish is etched in my memory for the rest of my life. She about fell out of her chair with enthusiasm and we were all busting a gut laughing. Hyrum helped her get the hook out and we snapped a picture before releasing it again. Nothing we caught was overly big, but it was still exciting nonetheless. Grampa brought a couple of the bigger ones home and fried them up for us to try later in the evening. The boys told us on the way home how glad they were to have gone and spent the afternoon at the lake.
