Ice Fishing on Ballard
John went ice fishing on Ballard. Serenity before sundown and some nice fish. We had a great meal for supper that night!

Snowshoeing on the Star Lake Trail
You couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day! On January 16th the sun was shining and the temperature was a balmy 25. The Northwoods was sparkling! We decided to hit the trails. We got new snowshoes for Christmas and are looking forward to trying out all the area snowshoe trails. We’ll keep you posted. We started close to home on the Star Lake trail. I’m sure many of you have walked the trail in the summer, but WOW what solitude and beauty in the winter.

Which way to go? We chose the 2 1/2 mile trail.

Children’s Church Retreat At White Birch Village
On January 10th 13 children from Church of the Pines had a retreat here at White Birch Village. They spent the day playing games and sledding. It was great having the voices of children around the resort again! Enjoy the pictures!
Mad game of ping pong!
