Saturday found us in Midway at the Ice Castles! 
Pretty impressive eh?
Pretty impressive eh?We watched a documentary on ice climbing on Friday night, so Scott was especially excited. 
Can I just say photographing ICE is reeeealllly hard? Like, Really hard. I am proud to say I shot in manual the entire day. There were LOTS of overexposed pics, and a few good ones (pictured here). I thought the next few turned out pretty cool. There were ice tunnels and here's what it looked like inside. 
Can you see someone hiding? 
The man who creates these "harvests" ~2,000 icicles each day to add to his creation. There are spouts of water running throughout the castles to keep it frozen even on sunny days. Here is the harvesting:
He helped pay for 2 sons' missions from last years proceeds and will pay for his daughters wedding this year! Cool, huh? ($5/adult)
Happy Valentines Day :)

John told us about these--I'm so glad you included pictures. The last one is my favorite!
Wowie, I had no idea those even existed. You guys find a lot of great stuff to do in Utah. Happy Heart Day :) Did you get my valentine?
No way! We were totally there Saturday night!!
I've been happily browsing your last few posts for the last few minutes and I have the biggest smile on my face. Ice castles, gnocchi (my brother makes great gnocchi also; his wife is Italian), exotic places AND Annie! I love that photo taken on the beach. Hang in there, the winter can't last forever. Love ya, Sandra
