Brrrrr! A FREEZING DAY IN FLORIDA


What a busy week we have had! I love to enjoy this Holy Season unhurried. I have purposely planned to not have a full schedule-infact, my calendar was pretty much clear. However, the Lord has been so good to us and blessed our family with some activities we would have otherwise been unable to enjoy! How could we say no? Here is just one of the exciting days we have had.

We had such a great time at the Gaylord Palms Ice Show! We went with our best friends which made it even more special. This awesome exhibit of ice is really unbelievable. The pictures do not capture the beauty but at least you get an idea of the exibit.


Each year 30 artisans from China are brought to Orlando to the Gaylord to begin the ice sculptures. The results are magnificent! We learned that the "blueprint" involved an ice sculpture of Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer but there was a problem. The crew, being from China, didn't have any idea who Rudolph was. The story had to be explained to them before they could begin. I thought that was an interesting little fact.


The gingerbread house looked good enough to eat. Don't you agree?


It doesn't take long to tell Santa what you want for Christmas when his lap is a bone-chilling 9 degrees!!

And this nativity scene was the most beautiful of all to me! Absolutely breath taking!

An icy walkway.



My boys with the penguins.



And the highlight of the tour was the ice slide! This is as close as we Floridians will get to a sled ride!


At the end of our tour and just in time we found the kleenex dispenser! Hope you are able to read the cute sign the kids are standing by. A nice touch.

What a great day! What a great Heavenly Father to bless us with the "little extras"!
