Ice Alaska!

Ann, Jill, Amber and John came up from Seward for Mandy's PhD defense. Great to have visitors from Seward! Fairbanks has hosted the World Ice Art Championships for 22 years. We headed over there one night to check it out - I had never been before. Some of the ice sculptures were amazing, some were...a little more abstract. Here are some of my favorites:

Title for this one is 'Our University Could Totally Blow Up'. see photo below.

Scene from Africa

Meerkats watching the lion about to take down the antelope(?)

One of my favorites. The detail on the walrus was amazing.

Boggles my mind trying to figure out how this one was created.

Another prey-predator scene.

 And the highlight of the evening for me was the slides!!!

Big kids on the slides

Down the chute! I screamed the whole way down.
