Ice Castles 2019

When my world-traveling-30k-followers-on-Instagram sister received notice that she would be given press passes to the Ice Castles in Midway, she decided not to leave Malaysia to come back to Utah to use the passes.  Strange.  But she did offer them to us, and we happily accepted.  So we set out on a Tuesday night (unheard of 'round these parts!) for a little adventure.  Ben was out of town, Cat had a lot of work to do, and Jack didn't get his piano and homework finished in time to join us, so Eliza and Luke and I went out with our friends Ani and Traci.

We were bundled up in our snow gear but it was still very cold - cold enough that my cell phone kept turning off!  We walked around and explored, admiring the beautiful colorful fountains and walls.  The kids went down a few ice slides, sat on ice seats, walked through ice tunnels, and we watched some fire-twirling performers.  We also took advantage of the press pass benefits of free refreshments (choice of warm cinnamon roll, cookie, or hot chocolate) and a free souvenir photo.  It was really fun, and really cool.  See what I did there?  Yeah.

  

Suz, if you get any more open-ended passes to do free stuff in Utah while you're on a different continent, feel free to send them our way.
