Easton got to go ice fishing with Daddy and Grandpa and they had the best time! Grandpa Don is a serious fisherman and goes whenever he can so he has all the gear. I was a little nervous that it would be too cold for Easton or that he would be bored after ten minutes but he loved every part of the whole experience--from picking out treats at the grocery store to catching fish to watching Don filet them.
They left really early in the morning but Easton was so excited that he hopped right out of bed. They drove up to Strawberry Reservoir and it was so cold when they got there that Easton said it was "colder than Antarctica." They set up their ice tent, drilled holes to fish, ate their treats, listened to music and caught a lot of fish! At one point, Easton caught a fish and was so excited that he stepped back into a hole behind him. He had great gear on though and Grandpa pulled him out so fast that he didn't even get wet. He thought it was funny! When Easton wasn't fishing, he was playing with the worms and counting them. They had a lot of fun and even got to stop for ice cream on their way home. Easton was fascinated watching Don clean and filet the fish too. He wanted to see inside the fish and what it ate and touch everything. Elle and I were gagging in the corner. It was pretty funny! They had a great time and we got to have a couple of yummy fresh fish dinners too! Thanks Grandpa Don!
