ICE

This year during this holiday season has been especially fun. Since Madeline is a little older and more aware of all the celebrations, my parents wanted to try something new this year. This outing was one on the agenda. Maybe next year we'll get to some of the others on the list. It's so fun trying new things!

We went to the ICE Exhibit at the Gaylord Texan this past weekend. What an experience! The Gaylord Texan is a hotel/conference center in Grapevine that is apparently made by the same people that made the Opryland Hotel in Tennessee. It's HUGE..and beautiful. There's a whole covered atrium area in the middle that is decorated to the hilt for Christmas. While we were making our way to the ICE Exhibit, we saw the man above walking through the crowd. It was funny to see the people stop and watch as he walked by.

The ICE Exhibit is in the Convention Center there and is a whole display made entirely of ice! They actually give you parkas to walk through it. It takes about 20 minutes to get through on a normal day, but seeing as we went the last Sunday before Christmas......to say the least, it was a tad crowded!!! We were told it was 4 degrees Farenheit in there!!! Maddie looked so cute in her little parka. She waddled around like a little penguin. So cute!

These are just some pics we got while going through the exhibit.




This was the largest angel I've ever seen!

And, to all our surprise, they had this as the last scene before you leave:

AMAZING!!!!
Merry CHRISTmas to all and to all a good night!!!
