ICE! at Gaylord Texas

Cindy gave us tickets to ICE! at the Gaylord for Dustin's birthday.  He had a good day and ICE! was the frosting on the cake, so to speak.  He loves the Nutcracker and that was the theme for ICE! this year.  His gifts started early in the day with the cancellation of his algebra class (probably the best gift of all since he is not real fond of algebra!), lunch at Cane's (he's a Caniac!), and ending with ICE!  Here are a few pictures from ICE!.  Over two million pounds of ice make up the exhibit and the carving is done by 40 skilled Chinese artisans.  The coloring in the carvings is from food coloring.  It is amazing.

The ice is kept at 8 degrees.  You have to put on the parka they furnish before you are allowed inside.
