Story

We got ice castles tickets for Christmas. It's been a warm winter, so we weren't sure how good the ice castles would be. But we were really impressed! They did a great job, and it was an awesome experience. We went kind of late so we could see the fire jugglers, so the kids ended up being a little tired and cranky. At the ice castles, rode the tractor trailer shuttle to the front gate. We stopped and got a picture with the Frozen princesses. Then we went in the ice castle and did the kids slides. Then we crawled through the slot canyon (super tight!). Then we got in line for one of the bigger slides. Then we went over and warmed up by the fire. The girls and I rode the big ice slide (Tara stayed with Cooper because he was too small to ride). Then we watched the fire juggling show and came home.
