Jacob's class had their 4th grade ice-fishing outing today. They were using camp's lake, so it's always fun to enjoy it in such a frozen season! It was an intensely foggy day. As we neared camp on the highway, however, it cleared enough to see the gorgeous mountain range! It turned out to be a beautiful afternoon. Jeff was up skiing with the Lighthouse crew, so I ventured down with the 2 little girls and Simon. We were there to make a very quick appearance. I was SO grateful that our good friend, Jeff, was there to help Simon down the slippery slope down to the lakefront while I encouraged the very independent, Danielle :)! Jacob was a bit uncertain, at first, at baiting the hook with the maggots, but hopefully, after I left he got braver. He reported catching 3 "dead fish". We're a bit uncertain about that, but maybe they had been caught and thrown back, then floated toward his hole?? He seemed to really enjoy the special camera they were able to look through to see the fish under the ice.
