Today's Saturday scone breakfast took us about 45 minutes northwest to Devil's Lake. It was the warmest it has been in a while, about 30 degrees.

Here is a map of where we were....

 These picnic tables were either barely on the ice or barely on the beach. With all the snow, we really couldn't tell.

After breakfast, we walked across the lake. There were a few ice fisherman out there, so we knew it was safe. When we watched them with their ice auger, it appeared the ice was at least 18 inches thick.

When we got to the other side, we took a few pictures and then walked back north.

There is a spot for selfies that they advertise....so we took one.

Right before we went to our car, we checked out the fishing shacks. There weren't people in them, so we took a look. There must be a requirement that you put your name on your shack. We liked "The White House."

In the early afternoon, we went to Hy-vee. Not sure why it took a half hour...but it did. We have a snowstorm now, so perhaps there were some logistical issues. Regardless, we got our groceries today, which is always nice.

Around 4PM, we did our craft of water spray painting the snow. It was actually quite fun. For him, he got the color yellow, so he had fun making pee....just like the neighborhood dogs do on the snow.

Expecting pictures of snow tomorrow.
