Lily's First Lifelines Trip!


Apparently Lily loved being dragged around on the ice!


Yesterday Lily went on her very first Lifelines trip! That's right- Joe took her on an ice fishing trip that he was helping to lead! I wasn't so sure that this was a good idea but Joe wanted to give it a try. So, while Eli and I stayed home Joe and Lily headed out onto a frozen pond with a group of students and our two Lifelines interns. I thought they would be back around lunch time (if not sooner)- but they didn't get home until almost 3p.m.- and Joe said that Lily didn't want to leave! Apparently she had a blast!! One of our student leaders brought his 5 year old nephew and they had a great time playing out on the ice together (I think he did a lot of pulling Lily on the sled). It also helped that Joe set up his portable ice shanty (and put his little heater inside)- so this helped to keep our little girl toasty! They did catch a couple of fish- initially this made Lily a little nervous. By the time they got home, however, Lily was pretending to go ice fishing (she was driving there in her car around our living room). My little ice fisher girl. Way to go Lily (and Joe for being brave enough to take her)!
P.S. Thanks so much Tessa for the pictures!
