The smoke from our fire hovering above the (mostly) frozen lake.
Yummy tinfoils. It looks cold in this picture, but it was actually quite nice. The first day we were there it was up around 60F and sunny. This was the second day. Still fairly warm, but no sun. After that the temperature dropped. And no more sun. We even got a new dusting of snow. Sigh.
Eli wandering out onto the lake. Never fear- it's safe where he is.
Another one of Evan's outdoor naps. Just kidding.
As you could see in the pictures, the lake was quite slushy and wet. We started across on snowmobiles, but slogging through all that water and slush gave me the heeby-jeebies for some reason. Besides, it was hard to stay completely upright and I just wasn't up for dumping myself and one of the boys into the icy puddles. So after a bit of snooping, Kendall hit the jackpot. He found this thing and it greatly increased his joy. We used it a lot while we were there. We hauled firewood with it and drove around the camp picking up the trash that is being uncovered as the snow melts.

You all look like the Canadian version of Ben and Jen's family in their Gator! Looks like fun!
Oh, I was thinking the same thing! Funny how Gator-type vehicles can increase joy. I've seen it first hand as well. :)
Karen, thanks for sending more pictures of all the males in your family STILL ENJOYING the snow so much! It's fun to see some of what you enjoyed doing at Stormer Lake. Mom
