Ice Castles

We went to Midway this evening to see ice castles.  Each year, a guy named Brent Christensen creates these wonderful, large ice sculptures.  We have been told that they are really cool and should be seen at night, when they are lit from within.

We drove up with Christopher and Tysen and their crew, stopping in Heber for dinner at the Dairy Keen.  I think we arrived on the busiest day of their year.  There was a fund raiser going on for a local elementary school, and the place was packed.  It was loud and crazy and Kent was worried we were going to loose the children.

When we got out of the car to go see the castles, the thermometer in the car registered 12 degrees.  Though we were bundled up and the castles were, indeed, very cool, it was so cool we didn't last long outside.  All the children were complaining that their hands were cold.  Mine were too.  It was a fun outing, even if it was freezing.

 I was able to get a picture with Brandt looking at the camera, and I was able to get a picture with Blythe looking at the camera, but I could not get a picture of both children looking at the same time.
