Elephant in the HOUSE!

This past week, we've been studying about elephants. So, we just had to make an elephant mask. Being creative is one of Micah's favorite things, so this is what we made yesterday. What do you think?

Much fun was had by ALL!

Ice Fishing

How many people do you think we can get in a fish house at one time......any guesses? Well at one time we had 13 people! However, the 2 people stayed for only 5 min . So, for about 1.5 hours there were 11 of us in this lovely house made by Tim's dad and brother (with some help from Uncle Fred too). We had a great time checking out the sport of ice fishing last weekend. After living in MN for basically all my life this was a FIRST for me. The FISH HOUSE (note our Suburban in the background is on ice here). Yikes! It was kind of weird driving out on what I have seen in the summer to be a lake.

Grandpa B. and Micah (we had just arrived so it was still kind of chilly....but not for long!)

Daddy Tim supervising the kiddos (even Hannah is part of the fun. She's hidden behind Tim in that lower bunk bed area). BELOW: Caleb and I . Sadly, no catches for me

There she is.....Hannah baby. She even fell asleep while we were at the fish house.
