Let's Explore more Ice Castles! We've been going to the Midway Ice Castles in Utah since Jiraiya was 12 months. I've learned a few things to have a fabulous time so I figured I'd share with you! *Dress for snow play, base layer(Cuddlduds from Sierra Trading Post), mid layer(fleece from The Children's Place), waterproof outer layer(@janandjul fleece lined pants and coat). Waterproof gloves(#janandjul or @stonzwear ), warm knit or fleece hat and @merrell crush snow boots! *Parents, do the same, wear layers and waterproof gear so you too can enjoy the awesomely fun slides and stay warm and dry! *Hand and toe warmers are a must Just In Case! You don't want to leave early bc you or your child is too cold. No re-entry! *****Go potty before entering, there are no bathrooms inside! No re-entry! *We always take our own coffee and hot cocoa in our @fiftyfiftybottles and small snacks like Cliff bars, fruit gummies. But they do sell hot cocoa and churros if you forget. *Go at 4:30pm on a weekday to enjoy both the sunlight and the night lights, as well as less people. *No strollers! You're walking in slush(waterproof boots!) You are allowed sleds but I'd highly suggest baby carriers instead to not annoy everyone else. *Not necessary but I wore my @kahtoola Spikes to provide more stability. After we explore every nook and cranny of the Ice Castles we always go enjoy dinner the Dairy Keen aka the train place for the best shakes and yummy burgers and fries! #Dragon #kidlife #momlife #rainbowbaby #dragonsandlephants #adventuresofadragon #utah #stayoutsidemom #staywild #wildling #icecastles #boymom #snow #midwayicecastles #winter #OPTOUTSIDE #hikeitbaby #outdoorchildhood #warmkidsplaylonger #kidswhohike #tinylittleadventures #outfamcommunity (at Midway Ice Castles) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8Ezk04AHBC/?igshid=9qbtanqkp8dz

We finally tried out our Enos hammock poles that allow us to hang both Hammocks from the same two trees. Why on Earth did I wait so long? This has totally change hammock life for me, I no longer have to hunt for 3 to 4 perfect trees to hang close by! Best part, Dragon promises we can go Hammock camping now! WAHOO!

I was introduced to snowshoeing 4 years ago through @hikeitbaby and immediately fell in love. Dragon was 13 months old so I wore him in a baby carrier on my back. We gave him his first pair at 3 yo and he immediately loved snowshoeing too! Did you know you can rent snowshoes (and lots of other outdoor gear) at @rei and most Universities, at least here in Utah! For those local to Utah County, go check out BYU Outdoors Unlimited and join us for a snowshoe hike! #HikeitBabyUtahCounty . What keeps you from taking your kids snowshoeing, Nordic skiing or winter hiking? #Dragon #kidlife #momlife #rainbowbaby #dragonsandlephants #adventuresofadragon #adventureparenting #adventurebound #utah #stayoutsidemom #staywild #wildling #snowshoeing #boy #boymom #snow #snowshoeing #kidsofinstagram #winter #OPTOUTSIDE #hikeitbaby #outdoorchildhood #warmkidsplaylonger #kidswhohike #outfamcommunity (at Orem, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8KBvi1g4h8/?igshid=1bw9hlxywbktm
