I apologize that it has been so long since I have blogged anything. November and December seemed to just fly by! Our oldest son, Brian was here on vacation  January 1-9. His friend Jim joined him and they had a fantastic week of ice fishing. There may not be a lot of snow up here, but the ice is in great shape. John even managed to get out for a few days to enjoy the fishing. We have had many great meals of fish this last week. Brian, who is a chef, even made us walleye for breakfast one morning! Enjoy all the photos.

Never tried ice fishing? Maybe this winter can be your first. We’d love to have you come stay with us and enjoy some ice fishing.
