Our Great FHE Activity

We went for a Sunday drive yesterday afternoon. It was such a beautiful day and so we drove down by the lake. The ice that was pushed up on the shore was so incredible that we decided to come back after work today while there was still daylight so we could take pictures for you all to see. I'm going to put the last pictures first so you can see them in order. We got out there just before 6 PM and got back about 7PM. It was a beautiful sunset. You'll see that the wind and the wave action pushed all these big ice chunks onto the shore. These are as you leave the bay to go out onto the lake. The highest part is at the end of the jetty. We took pictures of it from the 1st jetty and then we went and parked on the other side of the bay and walked out onto the newest jetty to the highest part of the ice. The last pictures are from the jetty across to the mountain over by Pelican Point and the south end of Saratoga Springs. We had so much fun. It was beautiful.


Harbor Entrance

Entrance to the lake from the harbor.

Grandpa is sitting right out on the edge of the entrance to the lake. You can see the high ice on the other side of the opening.


Grandpa is headed out onto the lake. We're glad he didn't fall through.


Grandpa is out on the lake at the entrance to the harbor. The great big pile of ice on the other side is huge. You'll see close-up pictures of them further down.


You can see how thick the ice is. (As thick as Grandma's head!)


Grandpa is headed out across the bay towards the new jetty. He gave me the keys just in case!! We're glad it held.


You can see how the ice has pushed up these large pieces of concrete and rock and pushed over the trees.


Do you think I can make it down?


Grandpa in the ice!


This is looking on the side where the Provo River comes into the lake so the water is open. On the other side of where we are standing is the completely frozen bay.


We're on the jetty on our way to the BIG pile.

Looking back at the Big Huge ice pile. It's getting dark and some places on the jetty we have to use rocks as stepping stones to get across some large sections of ice water!


Love this view!


Some beautiful sunset shots from the jetty rocks across the lake.


Hope you enjoyed our fun time. We loved it and had a wonderful time on our beautiful lake. We'll think about the great time we had this summer as we head out onto the lake when the temperature is about 50-60 degrees warmer.

Love you all soooooooooooooooooo much.
