Ice Castle

Jodie planned a weekend trip for all of us girls and our families to go see the Ice Castles in Eden Prairie. We met at 5:30 at the ice castle, more like 6:30 once we all parked and walked a half mile to get in... yikes! Then, once we were in line, we were told it was about a 2 hour wait to get tickets... well, we were already there, so we decided to wait! Avery and Harper did a great job being patient in line, Jace was sleeping all snuggled up in Jessa's arms and the rest of us were fine visiting! 

There was a princess who stopped to see the girls and fire throwers who put on a show for us as we waited in line which held our attention enough to not turn around and leave!

Once we got closer to the castle, the ground was covered in ice! IT WAS TERRIBLE!! We were slipping everywhere... and being that Jodie, Katie and Nyssa are all pregnant, Jessa had Jace strapped on her front side, and Ashley and I had the hold Avery and Harper up so they wouldn't fall... it was not the ideal situation! Anyway... we survived the 2 hour wait in line and no one fell down... once we made it in the castle, it was fun to see, but NOT WORTH THE WAIT (or money) to be honest. 

I am glad we went, it was fun to spend time with everyone and Avery got to see Olaf from the movie Frozen which made her night!

After 10 minutes in the castle, we saw it all and headed to grab some dinner... WE WERE STARVING!!! I had no idea it would have taken this long and was not prepared to be having dinner at 9:00, but we all survived!
