The alarm woke us at 4:45am.  Luckily the night before we were so tired the kids were in bed by 7pm and we followed shortly after. We were all loaded and in the car (waiting for grandpa!) by 6am

Yep, Nicolas took a face plant!  They were quite a ways away from us (but we could definetly hear the screams!).  A very nice gentleman helped Emily bundle him on the sled and she drug him back towards us.  It was quite pathetic looking.

So Nic decided it was safer to sit by his hole with his pole in his hand. 

 

 

 

 

 

By 11am Doug had 4 fish and his dad had 2.  Nic didn’t have any.  Poor little bugger.  No more fish seemed to bite after that so they we headed for the mountain house around noon.  Then loaded up and headed towards home around 3.  We got home at 8:15pm and once again headed off to bed!
