Mike surprised us with a drive out to Cripple Creek last Saturday to see some ice sculptures. It was the first day of the 2-weekend festival, so many of the sculptures were in the beginning stages. It would have been cool to see them finished, but it was also pretty neat to watch some of the live scultping.
These guys were working on what appeared to be a huge King Triton and ship being eaten by a giant squid (?).
The kids walked through this little ice maze sculpture.
In this picture they're looking at me through one of the walls of ice in the maze.
I can't remember what the sculputure looked like, but the kids could ride down the ice slide on this little sled.
Judith went down last, but I was too busy making sure she didn't smash her face into an ice wall that I didn't get a picture.
Ezra, Judith and I sitting on a giant ice throne. (Jonas is in the black hood on the right of the shot--he was protesting pictures for some reason.)
An ice globe (?).
It was pretty cold (obviously), but there weren't a ton of sculputres so it was nice to just walk around for 30 minutes or so, and as always, a beautiful drive. Maybe we'll go back this weekend and see if more sculputres are completed. :)
