ICE! at the Gaylord Texan

The Gaylord Texas Hotel & Convention Center puts on this AMAZING 14,000 square foot ICE! exhibit featuring a variety of holiday scenes and sculptures hand-carved by visiting artisans from Harbin, China. They make it so you think you are visiting the North Pole. They provide HUGE, warm jackets since you enter into a 9 degree space with with TWO MILLION pounds of ice! It is incredible!

This year they recreated Charlie Brown and the whole Peanuts gang from "A Charlie Brown Christmas." There was even a slide made of ice for the kids. Brooks went down a dozen times before he was so cold we had to finish the tour, quickly!

After we left the ICE! exhibit, we headed into the main area of the hotel where all the decorations are, specifically the trains! My boys LOVE trains!
