On our final full day in Minnesota we ventured over to my sister Jen's house to attend their annual Fire and Ice Fest. We have heard lots about this, but have never been around to witness it. It really was quite spectacular to see an ice castle / igloo being built in person.
The one down side was that it was COLD. It was a beautiful morning for skiing, but the temperature dropped 20 degrees by the time we arrived at Jen's house. Brrrrr...
The girls spent a lot of time in the tent (equipped with a stove and snacks) to keep their fingers from falling off. Ryan doesn't seem to be bothered by the cold, and was thrilled to be playing hockey and riding on the sled behind the four wheeler with the other boys.

We ended up leaving early as the temperature continued to plummet and the winds started picking up...and we were freezing! Once the castle was complete they lit off fire works! I saw video, and it was awesome! So happy we could be apart of it.
