Last night, we got the first snow flurries of the season. I honestly was confused when I saw them. ... It's been that long since I've seen snow. I could tell it wasn't rain, so I assumed it was some sort of dusty matter falling from a tree!
The night before, we went to Opryland to check out the Christmas decorations and see ICE!, which is based on the Dr. Seuss story "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!"
This is the show's last year in Nashville. Next year, it will move to Texas, so if you want to check it out, check it out now. Tickets are $20-22 for adults and $12-14 for children, depending on what day you go. ICE! runs through Jan. 4.
To put the show together, dozens of Chinese ice sculptors come to the U.S. to carve enormous blocks of colored ice shipped down from Kentucky. To keep the ice frozen, the theatre is kept around 9 or 10 degrees. As you enter the show, staff provides heavy blue parkas that were amazingly warm.
I liked the characters just fine, but I've never been wild about the illustrations in Dr. Seuss books. My favorites were the igloos and the 20-foot ice slide. Very impressive, and lots of fun.
