Wow! Can it really be January? It was so beautiful we went over to "lil colorado". This is my name for the pond that is behind Amy's house. It is so beautiful it reminds me of being in Colorado. Anyway we took the fire pit, hot dogs, and fishing pole and headed over for the afternoon.
It was so warm the kids wore t-shirts and Jessi had on shorts. We got over there and good thing the house is only a mile away because Tim forgot the matches to light the f
ire. He let Jessi drive back to the house (with him in the truck). The kids and I explored around the pond. They got back and Tim took out his camping tub and NO MATCHES! He had to go back to the house again. I laughed so hard!

When he got back we started the fire. It was so nice. When it finally got warm enough we cooked hot dogs and bratworst over the fire. Hot dogs have never tasted better!
Jake fished his little heart out. Of course I'm sure the water is too cold for anything to bite but he kept right at it.
About 4:20 you could here a low hum to the north. I asked Jessi if she heard it and she thought it was a car up on the highway. About two minutes the wind started changing and the temperature started plummeting. I mean plummeting! Within 5 minutes I bet the temp dropped 20 degrees. It was a really neat sensation to hear and feel that front come through. Almost eerie.
So we packed up and headed back to the warm house. Can't wait for the spring and the fish to start biting. We had a marvelous time together as a family.
