Midway Ice Castle...

 Monday to celebrate Presidents day we went to the final opening of the Midway Ice Castle.  It was so incredible to look at all of the detail.  It was fun to see those glacier blues that reminded me a lot of Alaska.  Inside the castle were several different places to go.  They had a maze you could go through, slot canyons, slides and different tunnels. Next year I want to go earlier in the season because a lot of the ice had melted.












 




 This isn't a great picture but aside from seeing the castle all lit up at night it was cool to look up at different parts and see the night sky with tons of starts framed with ice.

Birthday Bowling and Ice Skating...

 First off last week we were up watching Shelly and Jason's kids while they went on a cruise.  One day after work Nic had stopped by our house to get the mail.  And this awesome thoughtful package was in the mail.  I love Carlin and how thoughtful she is, even 1500 miles away she can make my day that much better.
 Saturday we celebrated my grandparents birthday and Gaven's Birthday by all getting together to go bowling.  It was such a fun time getting out with all the Montgomery's.  Gaven would have celebrated his 28th Birthday on Saturday which is hard to imagine.   



 I got my second turkey ever and may have bowled my highest score.  I was the top bowler of the day until Nic finished his game 8 points ahead of me!!
 The Olympics are in full swing and we love watching them together as a family every night.  Payton wants to try everything now, skiing, snowboarding, ice skating.  So for family night we went ice skating.  The kids loved it and it felt so good to get outside with the sun shining!





 It was a really fun family night.  It was also our first time experiencing Station Park.  What a fun place it was.  We ended our night with the Lego Movie.
