The Gaylord Texan is a huge resort-like hotel. There was lots of walking to get to the area where the show was.
The whole time we were walking, I was wondering how I was going to stay warm in an ice show. The Gaylord provides you with a garmongous unattractive parka. I was still a popsicle when I left the show. Wow, it was cold. But they do tell you they have to keep the temperature between 9-18 degrees. They also say that they fly in a team of ice carvers from China and they sculpt the ice into the displays in the show. It's very impressive!
And we finally got inside the show.
And the ice display begins...these photos are just some...there was lots more but some areas were so crowded, it was hard to take decent photos.
This was one of my favorite scenes
The platform that Charlie Brown is sitting on are 4 ice slides that you can slide down. Cristina went down the slide and had fun although it was a little hard to actually slide, she said. I passed...didn't want to get frostbite on the buns!
Yay! Linus and his little piano!
Kind of hard to see but this is a nativity scene sculpted and made entirely of ice.
Even the wreath is made of ice.
It was a fun time! I can't believe Christmas is tomorrow! I'll be back with at least one more post.
Until next time...

Cold, but looks like fun and the pictures are great...thanks for sharing.
Merry Christmas
Wow, what a wonderful and beautiful show! I didn't know that there were travelling ice sculpters :) In Minnesota, where I lived, there is a winter festival in January where the city of St. Paul creates an ice castle and holds ice sculpture contests. But this only works if the temperatures cooperate...for as you found out, you need awfully cold temps to create and keep ice sculptures.
Have a wonderful Christmas!
Wow! Very impressive, indeed. Looks like it was cold, wintery fun.
Merry Christmas, Valerie!
How fun! Although I have to say that I'd rather be wearing my own parka - kinda like 3D glasses at the movies - you just never know who's worn them before you!
Thanks for sharing and have a Merry Christmas!
