Pulling Jens along the slippery ice. I told him we got to get Eric Oftedahl up here and could really get moving.
Jonell and Deb cranking out lefse the day before. Jonell's grandma's smile from above when it is lefse making day. It takes a bit longer to make, especially for 250 weekend guests but nothing like the real deal.
Day of Thanksgiving we had up to 15 people on the ice at one time which was pretty much awesome. Windy though and everyone kept getting pushed south. I really thought we were due for a snowy Thanksgiving and hopefully one of these years that happens before all the kids grow up so we can do the sled and ski thing.
The big meal. Everyone was sitting down at one point which I don't ever remember happening.
Jack Wilson and Jens scoring on the frosting.
Breaking things up with some arts and crafts and gingerbread house making.
Next day UND and U of M squared off. Teamed up so brother vs brother, cousin vs cousin.
Pretty much expected the gloves to come off. No blood and Jon learned from day before to wear some more pads.
Steve Wenzel coming over in the afternoon with his boys for more time on the ice. Steve recaps nicely.
Went over to Ice Crack for the big burgers in the evening. Steve concentrating where to land the next bite.
Jon and I did a light skate this morning, little mtb ride on the trails one more time and up to Red Lake Falls for Jon's game. Not playing last weekend, the team was ready to play and they came out flying. First shift Jon was getting a little choppy and got called for roughing. Had to settle him down and tell him he wasn't playing against Jake. They ended up winning 11-0 and Jon found the net five times. Would of been nice to have a more evenly matched game but those will come.
Before the game I was checking out rink and the game before. Cool rink. Where I was standing was maybe 30" width and great view over the ice. Low ceilings. Fun playing in these different rinks. Oof Da Tacos helping out with the sponsorship. I think RLF might be the home base. I was in the bench running the door and would of liked to catch part of the game where I took the pic. I remember playing there in Bantams I think it was and was the coldest rink I ever played in. Improvements since then. Pee Wees played outside. In January. Every kid should play a game outside.
I think I need to learn how to do stitching. Isn't that hard I am sure. Joey was the victim today. They were downstairs playing graveyard gamble or something like that. That makes two Saturday's in a row. It was just as deep as Carter's last weekend and surprised they only put four stitches in. I would of done two more knowing Joe. Joe didn't even cry. "Uncle Jay, can you see my brains?" "What is going to happen when I go in a deep sleep". Joe, you will sleep mighty fine tonight.

There is a guy I work with at Hed that has an ice bike. He has some cheese grater like mesh that he puts over the rear when its flat and then inflates it to hold it tight. He also puts some screws in the tire too. On the front he has a big blade, like on those ice boats. He had aerobars on it and everything one time. He said he got kicked off 3 lakes because it looked too dangerous. It carves pretty good I hear. We're getting excited for snow down here and watching FIS online isn't helping.
