## Ice Castle 2025

 Bellow is the recollection of my family day trip to the ice castle in Cripple Creek in 2025.

   This all started when I heard a song by Lindsey Sterling. Upon hearing it I flashed back to a music video she did in an Ice castle in Colorado. Thinking back, I then remembered that the same year Grandma & Grandpa had once taken Cosette and I to an ice castle with ice sculptures. Though I can’t confirm that it was the same ice castle from Lindsey Sterling's video, I think it probably was since it was only 1.5 hours away from my house.

Anyways, I decided that my family should go visit an ice castle and we settled on the one in Cripple Creek. Only some of us were able to go Mom, Dad, Quinton, and I. We got there early so we could get a nice dinner in a casino then make our way over. It was over all a really fun time of beautiful scenery, photos, ice tunnels, kids accidently breaking sculptors in front of me and freaking out, and cinnamon rum apple cyder.
