Playing with ice?!

One of the things that Alaskans seem to do a lot of is play with ice. They actually have ice scultpure competitions. One that is held every year is done at Christmas time and is call Christmas in Ice. and of course it is done in the North Pole next to Santa Claus's house. So we had to go check it out. The Santa Claus house was awesome, and I swear to all that is holy that the REAL Santa lives there. The ice sculptures themselves were unreal. This angel was one of my favorites, they also had a Santa Claus that had a city etched in the bottom. The kid's favorites were the ice slides. You got on a sled and went down these slides at mach speed, scared the crap out of me! but the kids absolutely loved it. I can't wait to see the world ice scupture competition in March.
