I drilled a few before we got set up today just to be sure and to show him how thick it was, and we had well over a foot still, with at least 6" of black as a base... Every hole I drilled was the same thickness give or take an inch.

I dressed him this morning in many thin layers. He was probably bulletproof lol. Packed spare everything, loaded a thermos with hot chocolate, tons of snacks, and stuffed his pockets with hand warmers. He lasted until 1:15 pm. He's like a rabid ferret on meth...his energy levels are absurd, which worked to keep him warm most of the day. He was sprinting laps around our tip ups, following the tracks we laid out in the snow. It's astonishing how they just keep going!

I made sure that he realized and fully understood how nice of a crappie it was that he caught. Gonna get it printed out and framed for him. It was just awesome seeing his face and watching his jaw drop. Kids a beast... Lol.
