Our Family,  Trips We've Made

Little Packages and Commercial Ice Fishing

January 14, 2020 / No Comments

The end of 2019 brought us a little present. Our 2nd grandson was born! Marrion Kenneth was born on December 28, 2019 weighing 8 pounds 2 1/2 ounces and measuring 20 1/2″ long.

Born to our oldest son Seth and his wife, Jessica, Marrion Kenneth was named after Seth’s grandpa who just happens to be my dad. My father is a very special man and at this point there are 4 grandchildren (including great-grandchildren) that bear some part of his name. Seth’s middle name is also Marrion!

Hope is quite happy with little brother.

Hello world! I’m feeling quite big and strong!

We got to go visit and meet little Marrion. It was a nice time!

Hope – 15 months
Proud grandma moment but Hope isn’t too interested. haha

While we were there Seth continued with his commercial ice fishing line. Audrey went out with him for 2 days on the ice. What a tough girl! Russell took me out to see them one day on the snowmobile; I took off my gloves to take a few pictures and in less than a minute my hands were hurting so bad. I don’t know he can work in such cold conditions and enjoy it but he does.

Out on Lake Manitoba. Frozen over from end of November to April.

As the day went on and they warmed up, they were able to take the cold on their face.

Drilling holes in the ice to pull up his net.

The fish get caught in the net. They work the fish out of the net and then put the fish in tubs. Believe it or not, you do not want the fish to freeze, they need to be fresh, so the little sled behind Seth in the picture has a small heater to be sure they don’t freeze.

The nets are rolled up on these contraptions as the fish are pulled from the water.

(That little Star Wars figure you see on the left is just me. haha I wasn’t about to freeze my face off from removing the helmet.)

Sometimes you need a little break and this is where Audrey found it. Inside the little fishmobile on top of buckets of fish. 😀

It was time for us to head back to Arizona so of course, I had to get a few more photos.

Now it’s Seth and Jessica’s turn to try and get family pictures where everyone is looking. Oh my, do I ever remember those days!
