My sister has been eager to visit Midway's Ice Castles for a few years now and was especially determined to place her plans into action this year. I, coincidentally, had toyed with the idea last year but the weather was too warm to warrant anything spectacular and they were only open for 3 days. Tami and Richard have been wanting to see the their grandchildren enjoy the ice castles for a couple years now and my dad liked the idea when he heard about our plans this year. Shale is dating Alysse, who was interested, and Josh was too. So, in short, the group just kept growing! The downside was that Ryan got called into some work for his calling and wasn't feeling his best so he opted not to come. We had two extra tickets and managed to sell them off to two of the strangers that ended up in the shot above, along with their 3 family members. And Elsa & Anna, well, they live in and love ice castles so that makes sense! I wish Chloe was a little older so she could appreciate the opportunity she had to meet 2 Disney Princesses!
We arrived after weathering a nasty snowstorm through Parleys canyon. The happy news was that there wasn't an ounce of wind or snow at our final destination! It was cold, don't get me wrong, but super tolerable with the layers we brought for ourselves and Chloe. She looked like an adorable eskimo and got lots of ohs and awes from strangers!
We got some fun pictures, enjoyed the stalagtites and tunnels and especially enjoyed the ice slide! It was super fast! Chloe got really tired of feeling confined by the end of the night but was happy to cuddle in the car, where she could shed some layers and wrap herself in one of her favorite blankets.
I loved the carride and castles, and the time with loved ones!
