Ice Fishing in Utah

Our family spent last week in Utah. Daniel and Grandpa Vogt took the boys ice fishing.

Daniel and Gabe all bundled up in their snow gear!
Sam and Grandpa waiting for a bite. It was cold but sunny, and the rays reflected off the snow to give all the boys very interesting sunburn marks on their faces!
I was officially in Utah to help out at my parent's house -- organizing, de-cluttering, etc (14 bags donated to DI!). But, while the boys were basking in the sun, and Carly was spending some time with her Frixione cousins, the girls were able to spend a day together. Mom, Rebecca, Carrie and I went through the open house at the Draper UT temple, shopped at IKEA, and had a fun dinner at Timpanyaki.
Thanks to Carrie for taking the day off from her Mortgage business to spend the day with us, thanks to Rebecca for leaving her kids and travelling from Boise, and thanks to Mom for giving me the opportunity to have a little vacation and earn some money! It was nice for me to stay with my Mom and Dad and be the child again, and leave the cares of my actual life behind for a week!
