The sun was shining so we decided to play! We had heard about the ice sculptures at Victory Park and wanted to see them. We walked down to the metro and took the green line to the dark blue line and then a THREE MINUTE escalator ride UP into the sun shine. Victory Park was in front of us. Blocks of ice were stacked and then carved into the designs.
Frances Holmes, Arva Burton, Linda Rees, and ME! The ice sculpture says: Snovum Godum 2010, in Russian of course, which means "Happy New Year in 2010!"
This has Santa's sleigh on one side of the house and then his reindeer on the other side. Yes, it is cold.

Three sculptures are in this picture.

Can you find the man, the donkey and the dragon?
This one might be a little easier to see the man, the donkey, and the dragon.
This one has Santa's sleigh on the right and the reindeer on the left and a beautiful house in the middle.
What were we thinking?
We saw this slide where all of the children were playing. I said that looks fun, we should go down with the children. So we did! I went first and Jim took a video of me. We only have pictures of Arva and Frances. It was amazing. We just brushed the snow off like it was dust.
The ice sculptures were magnificent! The slide was invigorating! The company was delightful! The day was perfect!
