Farish and Fish


Truck full of sledders.
We went to Farish for a ward sledding party. Farish is on the Air Force Academy property up in the mountains and it is a beautiful place with mountains, lakes, a lodge and cabins for rent. We had lots of fun sledding, ice fishing, visiting with friends, playing games, and eating lots of great food.
The sledding hill was fairly steep and I thought it was scary. Ike and Noah had no fear and finally at the end of the day I went sledding. It was so fun. I shouldn't have waited so long!
I caught his very first fish while ice fishing. In this picture he tried to kiss the fish and just as he got the fish close to his lips the fish opened it's mouth like it was trying to bite Ike. It kinda freaked us all out. Roland helped Ike clean the fish and later that night we fried it up and Ike acted like he liked it - but I think he was just being a good sport.

I like the Noah sandwich with the two girls on the sled.

That sounds like such a great activity! I love your boys!

Way to go on the fish Ike! But I have to admit, that unless Adam cooks the trout with tons of butter and lemon and, I think, garlic salt or season salt (I never remember which) it is not my favorite. I would rather catch and RELEASE! :)

Your blog header is beautiful!

This sounds like such a fun ward activity. The picture of Ike puckering up to the fish is priceless.

My boys were so awed to hear that Ike caught a fish while ice fishing. They really think that is amazing.

Oh, they miss you guys so much! Almost as much as I miss you!
