2010 World Ice Art

This past week has had its shares of ups and downs. Isabel was battling what turned out to be an ear infection but it took us awhile to decide whether it was a headache, her erupting teeth, a result of bumping her head (since she bumped it right above her right ear), or an ear issue. She was crying much more than she typically does and holding her head above her ear. We finally cracked the code and made yet another long trek to Fairbanks. A few days before we had been in Fairbanks for Jen's pre-natal appt. and checked out the 2010 world Ice Art Sculptures.

Unfortunately we went during the day so we did not have the benefit of the light shows. It was also snowing on the sculptures making them more difficult to see detail. Remember you can click on the photos to enlarge them.




Note the delicate treble hook.

Ice Dancing.



Shark and Seal.





It's tough to see but the bear is holding a beaver which he is using as a chainsaw to get the man's fish. I thought this one was very clever.


The horse is rearing up because of the venomous snake on the lower right.

Note the scorpion's large stinger in the spider's belly.


This was a beautiful one with delicate ocean creatures.


Moses with the 10 Commandments. Soldier with his bow drawn.

Jenny adding a few more pregnancy pounds. At least it keeps me warm!

Another adorable sleeping baby Isabel photo!

Great pictures. At least you got to do something fun while making the trip to the doctor. Hope she gets over her earache fast. Love ya.

I love little Miss Independent who now walks around outside in the snow all by herself. Too cute!
