Winter Fun: Part I

It's that time again for Michigan Tech's Winter Carnival. Yesterday we drove up to meet with Phil & Judy (plus Ginger, of course) to brave the cold and to view the grand ice sculptures created by students. Once again we got to see Snoopy sleeping on his bigger house, which this time was an actual smoking booth outside a Saloon.
You must also know how cold it really was outside. Though the temperature by afternoon was around 20, we had woken up to our outdoor thermometer pointing 12 BELOW zero. Brrrrrrrrr. The sun felt nice and warm, but the wind surely was cold. Still, plenty of wonderful sculptures were well worth the cold. Here are a handful of images completely created with snow and ice. This year's theme was pages from literature and books, like Moby Dick...
Three Little Pigs
Alice in Wonderland (my favorite)
... to Bible. Very impressive!
So this is why we love winter up here.... brrrrrr.
