My mom wanted everyone out of the house so that she could cook for the party we were having later that day. My dad, sister and I decided we would go fishing to get out of the house. When we woke up everyone got dressed to go fishing in the cold weather. What my dad and I didn't know was that my sister only wore crocks and two pairs socks under my dads slip on boots. Then me and my dad loaded the ice house in our truck and we went to the bait shop.
At the bait shop we got two dozen minnows and wax worms, some of the cheapest minnows we bought from anywhere. Grand Lake is only eight minutes from our house and we got there in no time. We were planning on walking 300 yards to get to where we wanted to fish. The second we got on the lake we knew it would be a challenge. The snow was up to my knees and for my sister and dad it was almost impossible to walk through.
Half way to our spot we finally noticed my sisters boots; there was snow in them and her feet were frozen. My dad told her to walk back to the truck and warm up while me and him drag the sled back. It ended up just being me dragging the sled back as he was having trouble just walking in the snow. When i got back to the truck i was exhausted, it was probably the biggest workout i had all year so far. Things didn't happen as we planned but my sister was fine this wasn't our first failed fishing trip and unfortunately wont be our last.
