surfing the ice waves



I fell in that and my shoes came off so I had to go in head first and get them.
I also fell/ slide down that back of this wave.
so last year winter I thought is was crazy how many people for ice fishing here. There are hundreds of them out on the bay side in the little huts some days. I have told Smitty for a while now I wanted to go walk on the lake like they do. Smitty had a break from school this weekend so on Friday afternoon we went out to the lake ..... and we walked on it.... and I thought it was lame. we got out there and I said "this is it?" i don't know what I was thinking it would be like but I was disappointed. I remembered that my friend Havalah told me that last year her and her husband went on walked on the waves on the beach side. so we went over to the beach side. MUCH COOLER!!. These giant waves have literally frozen in place and you can just walk out on them. We were not prepared for how cold it was so we didn't last long, but we are definitely going back!!

January

colorful package from mom
isn't the color fabulous!? my gift from Smitty
post dinner pic because we forgot to take on @ the Cheesecake Factory
of course there is a pic of the cat!!
We have had a very uneventful month except for the pictures I posted. We got back from Christmas break and Smitty had to jump right back into school and I jumped back into work. It has snowed a lot and the temp outside has hit the negatives so we really have been hibernating. We did get together with with our friends Mike, Cassidy, Ashley & Cody on New Year's for games, sweets and cider.
Smitty also took some time off to take me to the Cheesecake Factory in Buffalo for my b-day. It's about a two hour drive so we were able to spend some time together before we sat thru dinner and people watched. I love to people watch!!
Thanks to everyone for all the phone calls and FB posts full of B-day wishes. !!
