After work one Monday, Shayne decided to take Shordy ice fishing with the missionary Elders in our ward and in Sterling ward. Shayne is the ward mission leader so he spends time with the missionaries and has also supplied them with fishing gear throughout the year.
This particular day it was only like -15 degrees outside, so that's the perfect day to take your 4 year old ice fishing right? :) They went just down the road to Arc Lake, so it wasn't too far away.
I bundled our little Shordy up with toe warmers on his socks and hand warmers in his pockets, a down coat under his regular coat and a warm fleece hat under his down hood and his regular coat hood. Shayne said he never really complained about being cold...which was amazing considering how cold it really was outside. But, this kid loves to fish!
Shordy didn't catch anything, but one of the Elders did and he let Shordy play with the fish. Which he loved.
While they were out there fishing we had quite the little earthquake. I think it was like a 4.1. We definitely felt it here at home and Shayne said it was a little scary being on the lake when it hit. He said the ice started cracking and creaking and they felt like they were on a wave. Needless to say the Elders and Shayne proceeded to quickly drive their trucks back to the parking area instead of parking on the lake. I'm just glad the ice didn't crack to the point that anyone fell in the water.
So...what a memorable day of ice fishing. -15 degrees...fishing with missionaries...and a 4.1 earthquake.
Just glad they were home safe and sound. :)
