We have a condo up at Midway, UT and decided to get away for a couple of days to spend time together as a family. We went up Thursday after work and spent two nights there. We went swimming, watched a movie and totally relaxed. We had a lazy morning enjoy the fact that we had no schedule and nothing that we HAD to do. We walked down the road to see the “Ice Castle” at the Zermott Resort, but we could only look from the gate since they didn’t open until after 3 pm. The Lawsons came up Friday at lunch time. We tried to go tubing at Soldier Hollow but with 40 degree weather (even though with the wind chill it felt like it was 20) the snow turned slushy and made it hard to slide down. After 2 attempts we went to the lodge to get a certificate to come back another day. On our way back to the condo we saw the Soldier Hollow train station with access to the frozen Deek Creek lake. We were already dressed in our snow gear so we decided to go adventuring. We crossed the train tracks and treked out into the almost prestine snow. It was so peaceful and gave a beautiful view of Provo Canyon. When we came back to the station there was a man there having his break and so we convinced him to take a picture of us laying on the train track. Spencer wouldn’t do it..”NO WAY!” he said. Five minutes after we climbed back up onto the train platform the Heber Creeper came rumbling around the corner and blew its whistled and scared the kids half to death! We spent the afternoon at the pool and then had dinner, After dinner we walked down to the Ice Castle again which was now all lit up with lights. It was really cool to see and we even had a chance to thank the artist for sculpting this really cool thing out of ice! Amazing! We went back and watched movies and played games until the wee hours of the night. (I was 3 for 3! Poor Greg.) So glad to have good friends to make memories with and that there are these beautiful places within a short drive from our house. Thank goodness for rejuvenation!
