Ice Castles at Midway!

This weekend Nate and I drove up to Midway to see the Ice Castles! It was a genuinely fun and NOVEL activity, which can sometimes be hard to find in Utah County. My roommate told me about these icicle-house things that some guy makes every year using pvc pipes and water pumps, so, naturally, we had to go.



The scene was gorgeous.



Nate's "Not-a-nutcracker" smile. I like this picture more than the other one of us together, but he doesn't.



The light is all natural! Just kidding. :)



A close-up.



My freakishly long tongue was parched.



The white witch, empress of the lone islands, is probably just around the corner.



Aww...



Sweet, no?



We had fun picking out our favorites.



This one was my favorite. It reminds me of Atlantica from The Little Mermaid.

It was quite awesome, and definitely worth 5 dollars. They say it keeps growing week-to-week, as the icicles melt and freeze and re-melt and re-freeze. (If Pete and Re-pete are on a boat, and one falls off...) :) haha anyways, I'm happy to say we found something new to do on a Saturday night. If you know of any other oddities to visit in Utah, let me know! I'm all ears.

I love this website. It's all about the funny mistranslations that occur around the world. Oddly enough, most of the mistakes (at least the funnier ones) arise from translating Chinese/Japanese/other Asian languages. As those languages have SO many characters, mistakes are understandable. And hilarious :) here are a few favorites. Check it out.
