Friday Night Family Night...I love these times. Mondays after FHE, we draw out an activity from our "FAMILY FUN BOX" Well, last monday Kya pulled out "musical performance". So I started to do my search...for concerts or shows. Being new around here I couldn't find much. Except, Disney on Ice was here with "Finding Nemo"....I SO wanted to go. Kya loves "Finding Nemo" and she would love it, plus that would be a great musical performance. Unfortunately, the tickets were well out of our family night budget. So......
We decided to have our own "On Ice" program and FIND our own NEMO. So, we went ice fishing. Kya loved it. She loves it when we catch fish, she wants to kiss them all. So funny. Carl would say that he won, because he caught the biggest fish, but I caught the most, and I caught a crawdad (crayfish: see pics above).
You might be wondering, 'what does that activity have to do with a musical performance'. Well, we sang songs while we waited for the fish to bite. Kya loves songs like...
'Itsy Bitsy' (Kya says, "bitsy, bitsy")
'Twinkle, Twinkle little star' ("tinkle, tinkle")
'Popcorn popping on the apricot tree' ("pocorn, pocorn")
So, there was our music. Kya did not want to leave, she was frozen, but having too much fun throwing rocks. I was getting some great photography shots (see next week on my photography blog), and of course Carl was having a blast doing his thing, fishing and being outdoors.

ha ha I love the glasses :) what a doll!
I couldn't figure out the "ice fishing," it has to be too warm for ice. But the pictures cleared that up. I know you went ice fishing in the winter and were on the ice and had to cut a hole, but it looks like you fished from the bank, am I correct? Cute pictures and fun activity, great idea and I know Carl must have been very happy. By the way, he also cooks the fish very well.
You're so creative, Paula. Chloe's 3 favorites songs right now are 'Itsy Bitsy Spider', 'Twinkle, Twinkle' and 'Popcorn'. Our girls must be in the same nursery class. :)
You guys are such a blast all the time! I wish we did half the fun things you do. I told Ashton about your "Friday night date night" and that "I want one!" with a big pout on my face..maybe next week I will get one! Ha
What a fun idea for family night to draw an activity out each week! Looks like you had fun. That fish was huge carl! We always have fun checking up on how you are doing. Looks like you are keeping busy and having a great time. We miss you guys! Glad we can keep in touch.

Nice job on the fish catching! Never done that before, but we did get the chance to eat some halibut our awesome friend caught himself from the cold Alaskan waters! It was the best ever! ANy other fish that you recommend?
We went fishing too this weekend! Great minds think alike!
That looks like alot of fun but also very cold! You guys have great activities planned! I need to try to get everyone together for more family "things" everyone seems to be so busy anymore. Thanks for the pics, we really enjoy them.
This is kinda a random question, but I was just curious if you still keep in touch with Emily and Matt Durkavich? Is there a way for me to get a hold of them?
What awesome memories! Who needs Nemo anyway? :) I'm glad you all had fun.
PS. Kya looks soooo much like you two; it's incredible. Beautiful family!
