they seemed intent on trying to get inside, but Norman managed to keep 'em out :)
On Monday, we went to a place called Gaylord Palms...its a HUGE hotel and convetion centre and for the past few years, they have staged an event called ICE.
They descride it as:
Nearly 2,000,000 pounds of ice will be used to create ICE!
Nearly 5,000 blocks of ice will be hand carved and transformed into a winter wonderland.
9 degrees Fahrenheit is the average temperature inside "The Florida Fridge," the home of the ICE! attraction.
1500+ fluorescent and fiber optic lights will be frozen within the ice, creating a magical holiday experience.
More than 18,000 total square feet of space is covered by the ICE! attraction. Kept at a brisk 9 degrees, the unique structure housing ICE! is also known as the "Florida Fridge." It is believed to be the first of its kind in North America.
They build a winterwonderland, all made from carved ice..... and its cold in there (9deg F)...so they supply a coat when you enter....
There were some really nice areas in there, including a Gingerbread house
Some lovely carved animals,
A meeting with a chilly Santa, and some of his helpers
and a Nativity scene
The fun bit is an ice slide, that Emma and I had to make use of (of course)...
The only problem we had was as you leave...everything steams up!
Actually... quite an interesting thing to have a look at .... and the hotel itself is huge... this is ONE of the Atriums
