My daughter's First Ice Fishing Trip!
« on: Jan 17, 2010, 08:39 PM »
Hi gang!  Hope all is well.  Due to being hurt I cannot go ice fishing right now, but my daughter (6 yrs old) has been looking forward to her first ice fishing trip since this past summer catching gills with dad.  Well, I couldn't let her down so I asked my friend Pete to taker her out with him and his daughter, who is already quite the ice fisher, out for her first ice fishing trip.  They went to a local pond and caught some gills.  My daughter had a complete blast and was grinning from eat to ear when she got home to show me the pics they took.   My daughter caught her first ice fish and I am very proud of her!  I'm hoping we have many ice fishing trips together in the future.  Thanks a ton to my friend Pete and his father, Ken, for taking my little girl out when I wasn't able to.  They caught 13 "keepers" and threw back a bunch of dinks, but all that mattered was they were together enjoying the outdoors!!!!!!

Both of you should be proud to get to smiles on your kids faces like that.  I am a teacher and that is why I teach because seeing kids smile like that is priceless.  I am glad they had both had fun!!!!!!!!!
