Part 1: Ice Fishing in June
We have so many pictures from yesterday that I decided to turn it into two posts. This is the first part of our day.
Yesterday morning we went out with another couple. We started off the day with ice fishing out at third lake. I can’t believe that it’s the end of June and we are still ice fishing. The ice is very thing/nonexistent at the shore, but it’s still quite thick closer to the center of the lake. It is too thin to drive our honda out on the ice, so we all grabbed our stuff and headed out onto the ice. Even though we didn’t catch anything, we still enjoyed a lot of great conversation and definitely a lot of laughs. The weather was amazing. Not a cloud in the sky and the sun was really warm. We were all prepared for our time on the ice. We had lots of food, drinks and even some reading material, that Etienne calls “smut”…lol. Gossip magazines….

The above photo is me and her. You probably had it all figured out anyways. We are about to live a once in a lifetime experience, The Great White Canadian Arctic. We have decided to create this blog to keep our friends, families and curious strangers abreast of our adventures. I'm sure a few misadventures as well. All while living in Chesterfield Inlet, Nunavut. Read on to see what it's all about!

Oh! And by the way, this is Cisco, our dog. Even though she likes to puke a lot, she's still part of the family and will partake in our adventure to the North. She'll be sure to keep us on our toes and keep the polar bears at bay! She's also good for a few laughs in between leg humping sessions. We still haven't figured out how to stop that...
Thank you for a great year (or half year in our case) of blogging.

You tell your other half that gossip mags are important. I NEED to know what the Kardashians are doing otherwise my day is not complete. Don’t even get me started on the latest Bachelor nonsense… ugh.

That comment was expected from you

Even though the piece broke off, that ice was almost a foot thick so it wasn’t too bad.

Well your OTHER mom is giving you the same comment. GET OFF THE ICE IT IS TOO THIN! !
Now Dave’s comment. Looks thick enough to me. I guess I will have to read the second blog to see if you caught anything.
