Schofield weekend / Allison Birthday

We rode from St. George with my cousin Carma and her husband Larry Werner. We arrived about midnight Friday evening. It's a good 5 hour drive from St. George. The roads were pretty good but the snow banks were piled about 6-8 feet high.

Saturday morning we slept in and had a nice breakfast then headed down to the lake for some fishing. What a beautiful day to be ice fishing. It always makes me a little nervous to be out on a fozen lake, but the ice was about 18 inches thick. The fishing was very slow and pretty small as you can see. We're also here to celebrate my 44th birthday. Brent and Effie joined us Saturday to fish and as you can see they were pretty tiny. I think we only ended up catching about 3 or 4.

Carma and Larry Werner

Brent and Effie Kitchen from American Fork. We have been friends for about 20 years. Effie used to babysit Maddie and Zack when they were little. Great friends!

Allison, Effie, and Carma.

Martin Lundquists brother Jared and his wife Jen.

MaryNell and Martin Lundquist. Good friends from St.George. They live up the street about 3 houses away from us and we've known them now about 12 years.

We played this game called spoons. Maybe you've heard of it. Quite fun and entertaining.

Especially when your husband knocks over the chair lands on Carma, still trying to get

the spoon to his nose. Very competative game. Maybe you don't want to play spoons with Bryce

Oh, by the way for those interested, we did get the chair fixed!!!

To the rescue!

We thought we'd better leave a day early because a storm was supposed to hit Tuesday. But as we tried to pull out we became very stuck. And the more we tried the more stuck we became.

After about an hour Bryce finally rode up to another cabin where some guys were working and asked them if they would be willing to help us out. So here came this huge tracktor. They pulled us right out - no problems. It was a great birthday weekend, cvery relaxing and great company.

We ended up going to a hotel in Payson and driving up to Draper to see the new Temple.
