A Christmas Treat

With all the shopping and wrapping done, Zachary had a great idea.  He wanted to go the ice exhibit at the Gaylord Hotel in Grapevine, Texas.  This is something the Gaylord has done for several years it is amazing.  This year Pop and I had the opportunity to go and what a treat it was.

We arrived at the

Gaylord to find the lights had all been hung with care.  And the

the Christmas tree was shining bright.  And, if you look up, this

is what you see.

We found this old sled and stopped

for a picture or

two.  Now, Zachary was here for only one thing and that

was to find our way to the ice show.

Our tickets were for 7:30 and we had a little wait, but soon it was our time, but first we were given these

beautiful blue coats to wear.  Yes, we paid money to walk through the ice show where the temperatures are kept a 9 degrees or below.

  Now, remember as you journey through with us, that all you see is made of ice…and

if you haven’t already guessed, this year’s theme

was all about the Grinch.  We soon found

that we were right in the middle of

Who Ville and all

the who’s that live there.  Of, course…

we found the Grinch was everywhere.  He even had

disguised himself as Santa.

Right in the middle of Who Ville, we found the

  slide made of ice…and we

all took a turn sliding down.

After a time or two on the slide, we walked through

an ice cave only to find more

whos who were dancing and having a good time…because as we all know the Grinch

actually had a change of heart.  He even had a great

Christmas lunch with all the whos!  And, like all stories we came to

the end and it was

time to find the hot chocolate and

warm up by the fire.

Thanks Zachary for a great fun evening!  Pop and I loved it.

Now….before I end this adventure…

Mark and I would like to wish you all a very blessed Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

And…in the mist of all the Christmas hustle, bustle, and fun we stop to remember

the real reason that we celebrate this season.
