Landon and the girls have been sliding and ice skating down on our canal just down from our house. The water is completely frozen down to the rocks and dirt except in a small area down below the waterfall where there is a deeper hole. While sliding around, Landon decided to go exploring and found this frozen sucker fish just below the ice. He was so excited. The sucker fish had a little minnow in his mouth, but it fell out as Landon picked up the fish. I am not quite sure how Landon got this fish out because he wasn't one bit wet. He brought the fish home, sure he had provided dinner for us, and was quite disappointed when I would not cook it for dinner. I offered for Ace to take it home and maybe his dad could take it and get it taxidermied. Landon was not impressed and put the fish in a rabbit cage to protect it until Josh came home to see it. He tried to talk Josh into BBQing for us but Josh gave the same answer as I did. This is a very impressive fish which my chickens will love to eat when the novelty wears off. Landon did have to have a BATH and his gloves, coat, and snowpants all HAD to be WASHED immediately. That fish was approximately 18-20 inches long and the mouth was opened in sucking form, about a 1" diameter circle, so you could put your finger in it. Quite a unique fish I must say. Way to go Landon!

I would give names, but I am not sure the spelling...
Here is Ryan ready to start.
Ryan has decided this is not for him!
We might have a little to learn about being a graceful "non-winner."
Dad, Bonnie, Cindy, and Lynn off to a fast start.
Bonnie and Cindy looking good on the corner.
A couple of people are going the wrong way here.
Rest time.
Giving Justin a big "YAY HO"
Who is more relaxed? Landon or the horse?
One of the games Wendy had was the cowhide race. Here is Hillary, Tara and Nic (the horses) in full speed. Nic - I love your form - is that kind of a cross between power running and power walking?
Whatever it is, it must work!
Now there is perfect form!
Just like a real rodeo, the bullride is saved for the end.
I am sorry about the blurry pictures.
