Claire and I went to see Texas ICE (TM) at a big resort building near DFW airport at Gaylord Texas. It is a way for people to see (fake) snow and (real, sculpted) ice in TX.

There was also a big ice sculpture display, made by Chinese artists that fly in each year. The ice figures included a lot of Peanuts stuff this year, made of colored ice for more detail.

It was cold inside, and because people don't have many winter clothes here, they have hats and coats for everyone to wear. That seem great until we discovered that this has been a source of lice epidemics in past years, because so many people wear the same hat. So, now we call it Texas L-ICE (TM).

Some of the ice sculptures were even big enough to walk into, and had lights built into them. Here's a house we went in.

There was also a slide one could go down in a sled. It was a hill made of fake snow but it seemed to work OK. Pretty fun, in a weird way.

Last year we got real snow, but that is really unusual.
