After a wonderful Christmas, we headed up to the BH on Dec. 27th to finish off our vacation. We knew chances were good that we wouldn't be able to drive down the driveway, but somehow that didn't stop us from packing, oh, I don't know, 942 loades to carry down the steep hill! The good news was there was tons of snow and the lake was already frozen! So it didn't take long before the sledding, skating and ice fishing began!
Matt and the boys arrived in the afternoon with their Wii in hand! It was pretty clear from the get go that some kind of snow banks needed to be built up on the driveway for safety. Dan and Matt got to it and made a pretty cool track. The boys spent alot of time flying down it over and over again.
The big boys went into town on day 2 and got all the gear to ice fish. We got a little bit in before the big snow hit (read a complete white out) and caught a couple of big pikes! The ice patch we cleared to skate on got filled back in really quickly, but not before Dan got to lace up his skates and do some stick handling. The smile on his face to be out on the icy sheet was priceless!
The kids got to trek all around the ice and walked out to Ewok Island exploring. Then the 4 of them pulled in a few pikes, too. All in all, it was a wonderful wintery fun filled visit!
