My Weekend Adventure

We loaded up Saturday morning for our big weekend adventure.
Are we there yet?
Oh I don't know how to ski. 

Well the good news is that the camp was just named ski lodge, no skiing required.  The bad news was it was so cold outside I stayed inside almost the whole time.  The whole family was there (Cousin Diesel & Bambi included). 
I guess the staying inside wasn't so bad, the camp had couches.  And there was always a hooman that stayed inside wif us. But, what were the other hoomans doing?  Well, that crazy ice fishing thing we did last year (see that adventure here.)  However, it was a double over night trip this time and much colder than last year!

Diesel and I did get to go out once just to see what was going on, but we had to go back in before 30 minutes.  We were styling in our coats and boots.
Dis is the lake from the view of the Cabin.  It looks really scary wif the open water but that is only because there is Dam next to it causing all kinds of currents in the water.  To the right you can see all the ice.  It was about 10-12 inches of ice on the lake.

Oh and yes the hoomans caught fishies, but I missed them all cause I was inside.  Momma was wif me most of the time but she did get to see Dad's big fish.....
This is a Togue or a Lake Trout.  It was 23" in length and Dad kept it for my Uncle to eats because it was the biggest fish of the trip.  The Warden service came by and gots it's official measurement and weight.  Then they took out it belly guts to take to the lab.  The Biologist will test to see what the fish have been eating and make sure that the fish are healthy in the lake. 

So after two nights away I is back home.  The sun is perfectly on my bed and I has a lot of sleep to catch up on! I'll try to be around to your bloggies once I get rested.

  10. Mom was all excited by the ski lodge thing, until you starting talking about ice fishing. Mom is not the best cold-weather person in the world (really) and to her, ice fishing sounds like some sort of hell invented by Norwegians. But that's just Mom. Running around in the snow looks like fun! Happy napping in the sun!

  22. Great pictures! I love the one of you looking all handsome in your coat and boots. I know Remi would love to have his own coat, but I think the other doggies would just chew it to pieces while he was wearing it, so he doesn't get one. I won't let him see you looking all warm and comfortable in your coat so he doesn't get jealous.
