Texas Ice

Here is how Texas does Ice! That’s right we do not wait for the weather to turn bad, we just have it trucked in and sculpted, and then keep it in a really cold room. Every year (I think) at the Gaylord Texan the resort puts together a “show” called Ice. You can walk though this 9 degree ice box and see the marvelous talents of the people who have taken the time to carve some beautiful items in a really cold environment. They are nice enough to hand out really thick parkas so that you can fully enjoy the experience especially if you get stuck in line or have to wait for any amount of time. I think one of my favorite displays was the Santa sleigh and reindeer set up as a slide. Unfortunately I don’t have any pictures of that one because the crowd was a little bit crazy. The other one I really liked was the display that looks like those fancy antique glass ornaments. Either way it was cold but entertaining.
