Ice Ice Baby

Today J and I went into town to check out the Ice Festival Carvings. Every year here they have an Ice Festival and people come into carve ice into these beautiful statues. We did not get to see any of the carving, maybe next year, because we had too many other things going on this weekend. But when we got there and just as we got out to walk up to the square (yes, we have a town square, with a gazebo) it starts to snow, and not just little snow but these big huge fluffy flakes and the wind picked up a bit. It was cold, but worth it. There were about 88 pictures on my camera when we were done, but here are our favorites!

Quilter Going Bananas said...: Ice sculptures are so neat to look at close up, the detail is amazing. I enjoyed the pics of them. Every year where I live they have a snow sculpturing contest and people come from far and away to compete. They are great to look at too.
