Sioux Falls other than Christmas Activities

When we were in Sioux Falls for Christmas I was able to get out with Paul for an ice outing. We set up tent so the kids could try their luck. We never did catch one, but a local kid helped me out and caught a small trout for a picture fish. Later Dad told me it was the joke of the day as this fish was all of about 8 inches long and they cooked it up anyway.

Later that evening I was able to get out again in the the below zero temps with Paul and Adam for a quasi-bachelor party/ ice fishing. We tried our luck at finding a waldo, but missed most of or chances. It was a blast just hanging out in the giant tent, and enjoying each other's company.

As we were packing up to leave, one of Adam's tip up actually had a fish on it! Not skunked is always a good feeling.

After ice fishing, Rachel and I joined Adam and Cathie for a late night bite and some good conversation. It was eventually decided that we needed to sit in their hot tub at their new place despite it being -10 degrees outside.
It was so cold, the steam was absolutely insane. Everything in the water was toasty and warm while your hair, if wet, was frozen in seconds. 

It was a lot of fun to hang out with Adam and Cathie as we don't get to spend much time with just them without there being some form of Livermore insanity.
