Last Saturday our family took a trip up to Midway to see the
Ice Castles! We all bundled up in our hats, scarves and gloves, and coats, then
headed out. I brought a snow suit for our baby and he stayed nice and warm!
I cannot believe the amount of work it must have taken to
make that! It was really pretty! They had lights placed in some of the ice
structures to make it glow, and they had carved out little mazes and tunnels. I
guess there was one tunnel that ended in a slide, but we didn't go in it
because the line was pretty long. But my daughter found a little mini tunnel
for the kids and she had fun sliding through it.
When we arrived my daughter went to see the Princesses that
we there. I guess they were singing a song from “Frozen”. And inside the Castle
they had made “Olaf” the snowman. The slot canyons were pretty fun to walk
through. But it was pretty crowded so it tended to get a little jammed up.
There was also a piano in the middle that was covered in ice and looked really
pretty.
My daughter had a lot of fun and my son was even intrigued
by it all. He didn't fuss at all the whole time we were there. He just kept
looking all around while being cuddled into Daddy’s chest. Unfortunately
strollers don’t really fit due to the small spaces and the mushy and slippery
ground, so we had to just carry him. I don’t think he minded and my husband
definitely didn't mind. He said he was kept pretty warm by holding him!
When we left, the Princesses were gone but there were fire
dancers out front. The parking was not super great. You had to just find a spot
on the street on one of the neighborhood streets around it. So be prepared for
a little bit of a walk to and from it!
All in all it was a really fun family outing and could be
fun to start doing as maybe a yearly tradition.
Here are some of the pictures I took…..
