ICE!!! at the Gaylord

After Christmas, we went back to the Gaylord to see the ICE exhibit at the Gaylord hotel. I wasn't sure how much the kids would like the cold, but we brought their coats and hats to keep them warm and they actually give out some really heavy coats there at the exhibit. It was very interesting to see what detailed and interesting sculptures that they could make out of ice. It was so colorful and whimsical because it was based on the Grinch story. They all seemed interested to begin with and Cate really loved it! Claire started crying halfway through (I think because of the coat) and Brant was not interested in going down the ice slide, so Brian went ahead and took them through to the end. I waited in the line with Cate to let her slide. We had a fun time seeing ICE and then spent some time seeing the trains and other decorations again before we left. The kids love the Gaylord because they are able to do lots of walking and there are so many things to see. We also got another batch of snow . . . 3 days of snow in December is a record for Texas!

The nativity was done in clear ice and was beautiful.
