Minor Ice Fishing Mishaps

Seamus and Ian braved the cold today to go ice fishing for smelt.  While they were unsuccessfully in hooking any keepers, they did have some notable (mis)adventures along the way.

Seamus managed to step in the fishing hole and got completely soaked in freezing cold lake water up to his knee.  Luckily Ian was able to dry him out and warm him up inside the ice fishing shack.

Next, Seamus had to pee.  Despite receiving an advanced warning from Ian "not to pee on the fishing tent", sure enough....  

Seamus hypothesized that maybe "the lake water just splashed up".  It is -26 C outside (with the windchill).  Not likely, Seamus, not likely.

Despite these few hiccups, Seamus had a wonderful time with his Daddy.  I am not sure the trip was as relaxing for Ian has he was anticipating but taking care of kids rarely is, is it?
