New Years in Okoboji

We rung in the new year in Okoboji this year. It was a lot of fun and our good friends Kohls, Kelly and Mackenzie stayed with us. Kohls and Kelly have a bunch of ice fishing gear and on Friday they all went out to try to catch some fishies, but no luck. The kids still had fun walking on the ice and seeing the trucks drive around on the lake.
Here's Stella Porter and Mike Mackenzie with Kohls and Kelly in the background.


One of the holes Kohls drilled. Three artists hard at work.

Stella and Mackenzie all dressed up to ring in the new year! (They were asleep by 10!)
Watching a movie before bed.

Mike lost a bet to Kohls about who an actress was in a movie we watched on NYE, as you can tell Mike lost the bet and had to run around the house in shorts! It was like -20 with the windchill factor that day!!!

We hope everyone had a great 2010 and an even better 2011!!!!

Looks like a goot time was had by all! Love the pic of Mike running around outside! I'm sure he can straight in and headed for a hot shower! Cool that Kohl's had equipement for ice fishing. Still don't understand why the ice doesn't crack around the holes that are drilled! The lake looks so different all frozen.
