Merry Madagascar.... ICE!

We planned several fun surprises for Austin while my parents were in town visiting- the first was going to the Gaylord Texan ICE exhibit- this year the theme was Merry Madagascar!  Austin loves all the Madagascar movies, so I knew it would be perfect!  We didn't tell him where we were going- which was torture for our inquisitive little guy!!

All bundled up and ready to go

Dashing through the snow.... 

With Poppy & Gigi

Lots of trains throughout the hotel

It's almost time!

 Jackets on & ready to go in- it was COLD!  Basically like walking around the inside of a freezer.

Having fun!  But he rushed through it- he was SO cold!

Posing like Santa

Ice slide

Austin's turn

Seriously amazing work~

Walking around afterwards

This place is amazing even without Christmas decorations!

We went out for dinner & then went back to the Gaylord to see the decorations at night~

There are no words...

Huge windmill

Ho Ho Ho
