For our anniversary we decided to splurge and go to the grocery store here in McGrath! Pizza for supper and Bunny Tracks ice cream for dessert. Only cost $23.84!!!!HA!

Got our Christmas lights up before the temps go below zero! (at least that's my excuse!!)

Found these at the dump!HA!

They love trapping season - digging around in the snow to find scraps of trap bait (usually beaver scraps!)

I would definitely say we are through with the boat for the season!!

Ran traps for the first time of the season on Saturday.
Bo had 17 traps set and caught 7 marten!!!!
Great start to the trapping season!
