9 Degrees Of Fun This Weekend










If you are ever in the DFW area during the Christmas season, you have to stop in Grapevine and see the "Ice" exhibit at the Gaylord Texan Resort. 40 artisans from China sculpt various things in ice. The exhibit, that we saw this past Friday, was well worth it. To keep the sculptures from melting they have to keep the room at a constant nine degrees. You are given a winter parka to wear (and you need it). The fun part was getting to slide down a slide made of ice.

On Saturday Scooter had a spa day where she got a grooming and a bath. It is funny that every time she comes home from the groomers, she gets spots. She also got her picture taken with Santa. Scooter would like to wish a Merry Christmas to all her friends out there.






On Saturday evening we went back to the Galleria for the official lighting of the Christmas Tree. Go figure the official lighting coming less than a week before Christmas. I guess that is kind of like a store opening before the official Grand Opening. After we left the Galleria we went to another mall about two miles away. We went to the JC Penney's store because Tina had a coupon. Let's just say this JC Penney looked like we were at Greenspoint Mall in Houston for those of you that have been there.

Tina left today to go back to Houston with Scooter. This is the first time I have been here without anybody. It will only be for a few days. I will see them on Christmas Eve when I fly down to Houston. Poor Scooter is probably confused with this transition.
