ICE!

ICE! is a winter holiday attraction done at the Gaylord Hotel every year and this year it featured DreamWorks' Merry Madagascar. They bring in over 2 million pounds of ice to create the ice sculptures and over 70 craftsman from Harbin, China to create them.

Courtney and I have always wanted to go to ICE! and this year, we knew it was a must when we found out it was going to be about Madagascar. McKaila loves that movie, so we knew she would enjoy going. But, we had to remember it was going to be 9 degrees in there. Yup, you heard right, 9 degrees. Not my favorite part of the whole thing, but it was well worth it.

All bundled up and ready to go

Right before entering ICE! they provide you blue winter coats to keep you warm. We made sure though to layer up before hand because we knew how cold it could be. Believe it or not, I kept pretty warm, besides for my hands that I had to keep free for taking many pictures.

Daddy and McKaila are ready to brave the cold
