ICE! at the Gaylord Texan

Last night, Dave surprised me with a wonderful evening out to ICE! at the Gaylord Texan! I knew he was planning a special date night, but no matter how I pleaded, begged, and connived, he wouldn't give me any clues! On the way there, he tried to trick me and said he had packed my swimsuit, which made me think that we were going to the brand-new Great Wolf Lodge right across the highway from the Gaylord Texan.

As it ended up, we saw an amazing ice exhibit made of 2 million pounds of ice at the Gaylord Texan, which is a gorgeous resort on Lake Grapevine. (It is also where we attended the Weekend to Remember conference last March.) Even though we had to wait in line for an hour, it was well worth it! They even give you very fashionable jackets to help you keep warm in the exhibit, which is reportedly 9 degrees. It might not have been the cutest parka I've ever worn, but its slippery material did help me slide very fast down the ice slide! Here are a few pictures from our very fun date night:


There was a stunning nativity scene completely sculpted of ice.
This is the best picture we have of Dave going down the ice slide! It was a ton of fun and made me want to go tubing when we're in Colorado next week!
