We visited some nearby hot springs this week. Near the hot springs is an indoor ice sculpture display. We toured the sculptures before heading into the hot springs. The sculptures were beautiful. The detail on the different sculptures was impressive.
I have no pictures of the hot springs because when we got in at 4pm it was already dark. It was 5*F/-15*C. Our heads were very cold! My hair froze almost immediately. We could have waited until spring for the warmer weather, but where's the fun in that? Besides, as much as we would love to spend all winter inside, that just isn't possible.

A number of ice blocks had flowers or other ice sculptures inside of them. Crazy cool

Wow! Who knew?
Husband is hilarious! Did the xylophone actually play? I think I want to try to make ice sculptures with flowers in them now. Really great idea! Why would ANYONE want to sleep on an ice bed??? Elsa maybe....
Thanks for sharing!
