ICE at the Gaylord Texan

While GG was visiting us in Dallas, Oma and Pops treated us to a fun evening at the ICE exibit at the Gaylord Texan. Everything is made of Ice. They had beautiful Christmas Sculptures, and fun interactive art you could walk through. It was 9 degrees in the exhibit so we all bundled up and headed in to check it all out. We were a bit worried about Liam but besides not liking the bundling at first he did great. He fell asleep while we were walking through, I guess because it was so dark under the stroller canopy, and then woke up smiling when we were finished. Here are some amazing pictures of the evening. Thanks Oma and Pops we had a blast.

It was sunny on the way to the Gaylord, so Liam borrowed mommy's glasses.

before we went in. it seemed like it was 30 degrees in that hallway.

nice and warm

The First thing you walk through was this beautiful ice tunnel with lights behind it. It reminded me of that hotel that is in the side of a glacier. Just like an igloo. Check out the video.

You could actually ride the ice slide. But there are rules, no high heals... oh darn.

Liam made it! We opened up his stroller and he was all smiles.

Taking some family pictures by the decorations, while we warm up.

After we had warmed up with a cup of Coco, we walked around the
beautiful lobby of the Gaylor Texan.

There was a life size ginger bread house. It showed how much of each REAL ingredient they used. Laura, I think this should be our next project.
