ICE!

DSC_0127

Last Saturday my MIL took me and the girls to the DC National Harbor.  There they had an ICE Exhibit.  Ice sculptures that were GORGEOUS!

See that red carpet?  It covered ice.  Yes, we were almost literally walking on ice.  It was mmmmm….9 degrees in there.  I dressed the girls in tights, fleece sweat pants, 2 pairs of socks, winter boots, undershirt, long sleeve shirt, sweatshirt, coat, hat, gloves and scarf and then on top of that they give you parka ohen you get there.  Oh, and best believe you NEED that extra parka.

We took pictures on an ice sculpted sleigh and the tour was even complete with slide made out of ice.
Check out Lael’s expression as she came off the slide for the first time. 

Awesome! Cold….but awesome!

  2. We went to an ice sculpture exhibit here once and you are right --it was awesome! There is this place in northern China called H'arbin that is famous for its ice sculptures. I'd always wanted to visit, but it's wayyyy too cold!
