We REALLY wanted to take a camping trip to Southern Utah. However, due to various circumstances, the primary one being that of a certain unfinished large document that Kevin is supposed to be completing this semester, we ended up staying in Cache Valley while the rest of the student population left for the week.
To help curb cabin fever and give Kevin a reward for getting up early and writing a lot, one sunny afternoon the family went ice fishing at Hyrum Reservoir. It was a beautiful, warm day.
There were only a couple of other ice fishing groups further away, so we staked out a spot fairly close to the boat ramp, set up chairs, and the boys started "drilling" holes with the ice auger.

Once the holes were made, Erin helped by scooping out the ice chunks.
Then Dad got the poles set up with bait (delicious maggots) and the fishing began.
Since she doesn't have a current fishing license, April decided to "walk on water" and ventured across the reservoir to the other side. Erin lost interest in fishing shortly after and decided she needed to go find her mom. She walked nearly half-way across before meeting up with Mom on the way back.
In the end, nobody caught any fish (or even got a bite), but we all enjoyed getting out in the sunshine for a bit. We did see some grouse, Canada geese, and the ever-present gulls.

Wow, quite an adventure. I love the picture of Erin walking alone on the ice.
I love the stuff you guys do. You are so cool.
