Snowmobiles and Ice Fishing

Thanks to the generosity of one family at church, we were able to go snowmobiling. Along with the trip on the snowmobile, John was able to do a little ice fishing. Everyone enjoyed the snowmobiles--especially Gabe and Anna. Although, Gabe didn't like it when Doug was going fast and hit a pile of snow and they went airborne a bit. Apparently, it hurt his bottom when they landed. Anna only wanted to ride with Ricky, (one of the friends from church--she also likes to sit with him while I am singing in the choir) so Doug and I were last choice again!!

After the kids got a ride, they wanted to go inside and watch CARS. Gabe took a catnap, but Anna watched the movie. While we were doing that, the "big kids" took off on the snowmobiles-Ricky, John, Doug, Leah, Dave and Wendy. They were off to find the fish house on the lake and let John have some fun with ice fishing. I am glad I didn't go on that turn, as I am not sure I would have liked riding on the lake at 25 MPH--even though the ice was about a foot thick, I am not sure I would have liked it. John did manage to catch a walleye so that was good.

I figured out that I am a scaredy cat, but I did have fun. I didn't go as fast as the rest of the bunch when it was my turn. I did manage to "buck" my husband off the back so I got to ride alone. hahah After this "playing" Doug is really wanting a snowmobile in a few years. I said that was fine, but the kids have to be older. Apparently you can find a decent used one for $800 or so---we need to save for that anyway!!
