This was our 4th year to attend ICE! at The Gaylord Texan and we always enjoy it.  It’s become a family tradition and it’s a nice way to start the holidays.  Yes, it’s freezing cold…but totally worth it.  The time and talent that goes into the ICE! exhibit each year is extraordinary.  It’s definitely something you have to see to believe.

I don’t think Connor was excited at all right?

Before you tour the ICE! exhibit you watch a video of how everything is created by the artists.  And then…it starts SNOWING 🙂

Here he is at 6 years old.

We walked through this really cool illusion of characters telling stories.

You can also get your photo taken before you tour the ICE! exhibit.

This year’s theme was “Here Comes Santa Claus”  Follow along and read the stories together as you walk through each room.

ADULTS:  Take a look at this bar made completely out of ice.  Frozen or on the rocks maybe?

Of course one of our very favorite things to do is the ice slide.  

I love that at the end of the exhibit every year they recreate the nativity scene.  This is what Christmas is truly about.

I hope you get a chance to visit the ICE! exhibit at The Gaylord Texan….it truly is a sight to behold.  Until next year…”Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”
