Ice, ice and more ice

Ice, ice and more ice!!!  Today, I visited the most amazing art exhibit....sculpted completely out of ice...2 million pounds of ice.  Every year, the Gaylord Palms Resort, here in Orlando is home to this gigantic ICE!  show.  The theme for this holiday season was "Merry Madagascar."    The sculptures retell the story of how Alex the Lion and his friends saved Christmas after Santa crashed on the island of Madagascar.

Brrr...I forgot my gloves back in Minnesota!!!

What was my favorite part of the exhibit?  The REAL two story ice slides!!!

Some fun facts about ICE!

• The exhibit is kept at 9 degrees Fahrenheit....cold!!!
• More than 40 artists hand carve the sculptures
• The artists are from Harbin, China.
• It takes more than a month to complete the exhibit.
