Ice Fishing

Yesterday after school, Ron, Connor, Gavin, and I went ice fishing with some people from the village. I didn't have any luck but everyone else caught grayling. Gavin caught one fish and was done. He would come and fish with me to try to show me how it was supposed to be done. Connor caught a couple and Ron caught one. Not too bad for about an hour of fishing. We all had fun and got out of the house while it was cold. I am sure, that we will have more ice fishing adventures as soon as it gets colder again.

Connor's Birthday

Well Connor just had his sixth birthday last week. He chose Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle as his theme. The cake he wanted was the easiest and fastest cake I have ever made for him. It was simple but really a neat looking cake. I quickly made up a face for "Pin the Mask" on the Turtle. The kids that came, had a great time with Connor. Connor and Gavin both had a great time with them too. Since then, some of the kids have come over to play with Connor. Man, my son is growing up so fast.

Snow

During the first week of October, we had plenty of snow for snowball fights, snow mobiling, and enough to stay on the ground. We all took a drive down to the river and had a ball in it. The only bad thing is that we will probably have an extremely long and cold winter.

Ron's hunting trip

Back in September, Ron and a friend went moose hunting. As you can see, it was a successful hunting trip for him. I am grateful, food for the freezer. It was a nice sized moose, young still and smaller than most but perfect for the tenderness. (For those of you that don't know... the older the animal, the tougher the meat)
