gaylord ICE exhibit

on the 29th we had the opportunity to join the childers family, my parents and my brother for a trip to grapevine, tx to the gaylord ICE exhibit. the exhibit is here every year, but matt and i have never had a chance to go, so when shari invited us along and matt and i both happened to be off work, we jumped at the chance to take in the spectacular ice sculptures and winter fun!
this year's exhibit was themed "a charlie brown christmas", so we were able to see all the peanuts characters come to life through ice while walking around in a tent they keep at 9 degrees! don't worry, they were kind enough to provide us with parkas to keep us warm in there (it was in the upper 50's outside that day!). we also were able to enjoy the other beautiful holiday decorations set up around the gaylord hotel/resort and spend some quality time with the aforementioned family members. after the gaylord exhibit we enjoyed dinner at fuzzy's tacos before heading home to enjoy our warm houses!
for more information and history on gaylord ICE, check out their website that gives all the details about the who, why and how they make this awesome exhibit.
