last weekends new hampshire trip

[rickyriged]

aloha
after a yucky season in se mass got the ok from wifey poo to make one last trip with the kids
before packing up the gear for the season
got out on the most beautiful mountain lake found 20 inches of ice but got our buts handed to us by the 30 mph winds and got not one flag
at the end of sat was not going to drag gear across the ice and went back to ramp and drove the burban out to our site and packed up
then we headed out to the hotel  got there and found out they had indoor swimming pool that right there made the kids week end
sunday morning headed south about 45 minutes to another lake and found 8 inches of ice and still put up with crazy winds
only got a couple of yellow perch  so small never even popped the flags
had a great time hanging out with the kids for the weekend
day one in the mountains

Well the lack of catching was the only bad thing I see.

best part was pulling the truck out on the lake that nervouse /excited feeling
kids want to starta family tradition of going ice fishing on febuary vacation in new hampshire
as long as we go to the hotel with the pool

if you got anything out of that trip it was the families decision to start a yearly tradition from this. that is a great family memory to have even though it wasn't the results u wanted. sometimes it's not about the catching and more about the adventure. that food looked warm enough to remove the chill from the air. wtg rick.

anytime you can keep kids outdoors insted of in front of video games take it and run.
