.ice on Whyte

20140201 ice on whyte (11) edit

We love to tour our city… There’s a lot going on here in Edmonton all the time, no matter what the weather is. Pretty much all winter we haven’t gone to any events because of the cold but we decided to be brave last Saturday and hit up the “Ice on Whyte” festival. Basically just a bunch of ice sculptures and slides made out of ice and food and lots of people. It was fun! But yeah, sooo sooo cooold.

And of course, none of us were really dressed appropriately.

↓↓↓They built this enormous mountain out of snow and had a big staircase to the top and about 6(?) ice slides going down. It was amazing, but not as amazing as this video of Tiana going down with Ames↓↓↓

↓↓↓We found a heated tent with a live band (pretty terrible) and hot chocolate (watered down)… so nice haha↓↓↓

We all went to IHOP for dinner afterwards… oh my goodness it was so nice and warm in there! Its crazy how your body changes in the cold. I kept saying that it felt like my jaw was freezing because it was hard to talk and my mouth moved in slow motion. So weird.

The best is the little girl who just comes down and stares at them.
