Ice Palace and Soccer

We were a bit crazy because on Monday we decided we wanted to go to the famous Midvale Ice Palace. I say crazy because it was President's Day, Family Home Evening night and the last day this place was open. Yeah, we waited in line for about an hour and forty minutes only to walk through the place shoulder to shoulder with everyone else. But we still had fun.
The kids were super excited before we left:

While in line Derrick walked to a gas station and bought the kids donuts. They loved that. There was also snow to play in and fire throwers to watch. So we still had fun.

The inside was really cool.

They had a slide that Caleb, Derrick and Brynn went on. Brynn sat on Derrick's lap and she kept saying how happy she was to sit on his lap. Derrick said the slide kind of hurt to go down but when the kids want to do something, you just do it. Right?

Our favorite part was the maze:

It was good family time and we were all exhausted by the time we got back to the car.

Today we bought Caleb cleats, shin guards and socks because I signed him up for city soccer in April. He was so excited to get them and try them out. I can't wait for him to do his first organized sport!
