Ice Fishing

The beginning of the year started with a trip to the Iron Range to visit with our friends Jamie and Emily and their daughter Anna. We stayed at Emily's parents place for 2 nights. The highlight was fishing on Blue Lake with the 'other' Walsh family. We were out for 6 hours fishing among the tree tops. It was a sunny but cool day, topping out around 10 for a high temp. We were really proud of Jordan, who is now 5. Not one time did she say she was bored, cold or wanted to go home. She pulled up a few nice Sunnies and helped pull up 2 nice northrens . She kept a close eye on all the tip-ups and called out "flag!" for each one that went up. She put on many mile running on the ice to be a part of all the action. She even took Emily on a journey towards shore. She is definitely an outdoor girl. Joe caught a bunch of nice northrens and even I managed to haul in two keepers on my tip-up, a first for me. We were well taken care of at the Walsh residence, Mikey fed us well our last night there. Thanks for the good time guys!
