ICE

One of the first things we did while visiting Brent's family was go to ICE, a display created all out of ice sculptures.  They keep it at 9* so, they give everyone these nice shiney blue parkas to wear - mostly because people down here don't even own a parka.

I thought Jason looked pretty cute in his.

Too bad we couldn't keep them. ;) 

Don't we look lovely!!? 

It was pretty cool - and pretty freezing!  The locals were having a really hard time breathing.  Haha! 

I, on the other hand, was in heaven.  Feeling so cold!!  I loved it!  I only wish I'd had some gloves. 

The theme was "Twas the Night Before Christmas" so each room was a different scene from the poem, ending with this fun room. 

And some slides. 

I think he might have liked it a little more if it hadn't been so cold. haha. 

As much as I liked the awesome sculptures in the other rooms, this Nativity Scene at the very end was my favorite.  I just love the pure white ice sculptures.

After freezing, we got to go to another area in the same resort hotel where they put on a Christmas Rock Concert.  It was pretty funny.  These holy songs being played rock n roll style while acrobats did dances on ribbons hanging from the ceiling...Not quite reverent.  But, still a really fun show, and they gave us free hot chocolate, so we had no complaints!
