ICE!!

This years ICE display reenacted the 1957 story of
- how the grinch stole Christmas -

ICE is a walk through holiday attraction,
where you can explore a variety of scenes from the 1957 story. 
2 million pounds of hand carved ice, 
several 2 story ice slides all displayed in a huge tent kept at a chilly 9 degrees.

Come along with us and enjoy the world of ICE!





















Me on the slide!


The hubs on the slide!








We visited ICE at 4:30 on Wednesday last week and the place was empty.
We double backed to enjoy all of the sculptures fully.
It was nice having the place all to ourselves and it was awesome for taking pictures.

This is a trip we take every year and it is so much fun.
Tune in tomorrow for more of what we enjoyed while in Washington!

Wow it just amazes me what they can do with the ice, so nice that you had the place to yourselves to get some good pictures. You are a brave girl with those temps, I hate the cold anymore, my feet and hands just can't take the cold anymore. Looks like you had a great time, so glad to hear that!

How fun... I don’t remember learning about ICE before.. have you blogged it before? but then it would have been a year ago at least and sometimes I can’t remember what I had for dinner! Anyway, it looks like super fun, but cold. And o gosh slide isn’t made of ice is it?

Fantastic sculptures! We've been watching the various Grinch movies lately. I'm willing to bet Chuck has just a t-shirt on under his parka! LOL!

This trip to see the Ice Carvings each year is one of my favorite. Wow, the story of the Grinch is well told in these sculptures.
I loved the slide photos of the two of you. You are both so fun and adventurous. I'm smiling on this one!
Big hugs for you two!
