The ski resort was packed with people.
"Where's Snow Palace?" Violette asked Adrian.
There were too many people, and she was worried about the kids' safety. So, she wanted to check out Snow Palace.
"It's at the back of the ski resort." Adrian pointed her in the right direction.
A nearby tourist overheard their conversation and kindly said, "You guys want to go to Snow Palace? It's closed to the public today! I heard someone booked the whole place."
"Snow Palace, that big, is booked?" Adrian was somewhat surprised.
"Yeah! Damn rich people! Why do they have to book it during the holiday season? So annoying! The ski resort is so crowded today because Snow Palace is booked." The tourist complained.
Embarrassed, Adrian said to Violette, "How about we go there first and I'll try to negotiate with the person who booked it?"
Otherwise, they would have wasted their time.
It took almost two hours to drive here from the city. The two kids were so excited on the way. If they couldn't get into Snow Palace, they would be so disappointed.
Violette nodded and tried to lighten the mood, "It's okay if we can't get in. We can still see the view from outside! And the scenery around here is beautiful too. We can just take some pictures nearby."
Adrian nodded, "I'm sorry, Violette! I should have checked online before we came."
"It's not your fault. We can come back another time." Violette said.
"Alright." Adrian said.
Inside Snow Palace, Makayla happily wandered around the dreamy ice castle.
Elijah, with his camera, captured her smiling face.
Sarah stood by, watching this heartwarming scene.
"Elijah, let me take some pictures of you guys together!" Sarah offered.
Elijah handed her the camera and walked towards Makayla.
At the entrance of Snow Palace.
Adrian and Violette stood with their kids in front of the door.
