Baby it's cold inside

So, when we found out our family was going to be able to go back to Tennessee for graduation, we decided to make some plans. The kids have been whining every day about missing and wanting to see their good friend Brock, from Mississippi. We called up Brock's parents and made arrangements for them to meet us up in Nashville for a few days. We made a vow of silence, promising we wouldn't say a word to the kids. We made plans to "just happen to run into them" at a restaurant in Nashville. The kids were so excited when they actually realized it really was their friends they were seeing. On Sunday both families decided to go to the Opryland Hotel to see this thing called ICE. I had no clue what to expect.

First we all had to put on these big blue parkas. We were told that the temp. in the building was 12 degrees! Brrrrrrr!





Here is a picture of Nathan sliding down the huge ice slides. EVERYTHING IS made of ICE!

Brrrrr Look at our red noses. It sure was cold in there. After we finished I thought it was absolutely reaonable to charge $12 for a cup of hot cocoa. Keith told me that my brain was experiencing hypothermia, and no way were we paying that much for one cup!
