Midway Ice Castles

Gene, my Dad and I finally got up to Midway

to see the Ice Castles last Saturday.

They were pretty "cool" (pun intended). 

The workers there said they were going to keep it open

another week since the weather is still cold. 

I was rather surprised by how much snow was up there! 

I love Midway, but I'm not a huge fan of the snow,

so maybe I don't want to live there.

The guy working there took this picture. 

He took one with his camera too. 

Then they try to sell you a photo package.  :) No thanks.

They run sprinklers at night to get the desired affects.

It was such a beautiful day and the ice castles were glistening. 

They also have a blue tint to them.

(Every picture was taken blindly. 

My camera has a viewing screen

that is completely black in bright light. 

So, I just did the aim and click, not bad huh?)

This one looked like a T-rex head or a dragon head

(at the top center).

So, check out their webpage and give them a call to find out how much longer they're planning to be open. 

It changes every week!  Worth the trip. 

They do charge you to walk in and they require you to sign something so that you don't hold them responsible for any injuries ( I avoided walking under a rather thin arch).
