Ice Fishing & Night Skiing


We had a fairly relaxed start to the day, doing some souvenier shopping - Hannah bought herself a hat.


We were taken to the Ice Fishing (about 7km away from Luosto) in a sled pulled by a snowmobile - it was VERY BUMPY (we decided it was better than a ride at Disneyworld).


We had to dig a hole in the ice of the Lake. The Ice was 1.5m thick!!


Hannah caught the first fist of our group, and the second fish, and the third fish - all up she caught 5 fish. The staff at Snow Games (the activity organisers in Luosto) have been amazing - they knew that Hannah was going Ice Fishing today, so they put this stool on the back of one of the snow mobiles - we didn't ask them to do it, they just knew Hannah would need help. All the Snow Games staff have been so helpful and friendly - they have been amazing about accommodating Hannah and her wheelchair, which is surprising because she is the first person in a wheelchair they have worked with (they told us yesterday).


Jacqui caught two fish (& Steve & Nikki caught one each).


We couldn't resist the chance of a family snap standing on a frozen lake!


After the Ice Fishing, Jacqui & Steve went night skiing - HEAPS of fun!!


Hannah discovered we have wifi in our room, but only if your head is touching the door :-)
