ICE! Attraction at Gaylord Palms

Me and my friends Julie, Rebekah and Ricky visited the Gaylord Palms Resort in Kissimmee, Florida to see the ICE! attraction. Also, just a little side note for all of you who don't know if you whisper "iiiiccccccccceeee....." it makes it sound so much cooler. Trust me, you'll be at a new level of coolness if you say it that way.

Me and Julie are ready to show the cold iiiiccccccceee NO MERCY!!!

While Ricky and Rebekah enjoy the vast winter wonderland printed on a tarp.

I didn't know what the deal was with this dude.

Julie was quick to point out it was a thermometer and that it was freezing it's bulb off at 9 degrees!

I was quick to point out the sign for IIIICCCCCCEEEEEE as we were about to enter the the attraction. Seriously, I'm pointing out the sign....I'm not the kind of person to flick off the camera.

Julie thought this iiicccccceeee flower was so pretty, but what she didn't realize was it was one of those man-eating iiicccccceee flowers! So I dropped my camera and pulled her out and then flicked the iiicccccceee flower off. I wish I took a picture of that! That totally happened.

Julie and I welcome strangers into the wonderful world of food coloring and iiicccccceeeeee.

Rebekah gently touches a tree branch before part of it breaks off right in her face.

Then she pretended like nothing happened and rubbed the belly of the closest iiiicccccee polar bear she could find.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
It didn't say much but we all assumed it enjoyed the rub.

Julie didn't want to copy Rebekah so she gave the other iiiccccceee animals a nice pat.

While the girls were keeping the animals busy I took the opportunity to express my opinions about global warming to the creatures of the iiiicccccccceee forest.

Holy cow it's an iiiicccccceeeee train!





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
From the size of my mouth I believe I was quite impressed.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Ricky and Rebekah wanted to take it out for a spin.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
If only I wasn't still in awe from the impressive iiiicccccceeee train I might have been able to get out of the way in time.

It's time for a make-believe Holiday Greetings card picture!

Julie and I knew we weren't supposed to eat anything on display but we just couldn't resist!





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
After filling up on iiiicccccceee and food coloring we decided to break into some dude's house for a while.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Ricky and Rebekah joined in on the fun as well!





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Even though Julie kicked down the door and broke in she pretends that it's her iiiccccceeee house and welcomes anyone who comes like a good host should.

Unfortunately not everyone survived the great ICE! event at Gaylord Palms.....





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
.....I did my best to hold it together as I walked by this poor gnome.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Julie enjoyed the iiicccccceee shepherd and lamb because there were no frozen gnomes in sight.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
The lamb also agrees that frozen gnomes are not much fun.

If that dude in the back had dreadlocks I probably would have freaked out and thought it was Predator!

It's baby Jesus in iiiccccceeee form!

I could have sworn I heard this angel say, "do not be afraid." If you don't understand this comment then pick up a Bible and be ready to laugh you're tail off! It's a side-splitter I'll ya-what.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Me, Julie, Rebekah and Ricky chill out in an iiiiccccccceeeee tunnel.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
It's a grand finale room filled with iiicccceeee slides!





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
One iiiccccceee penguin welcomed us all with a friendly flipper wave!





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Then a whole army of baby iiiccccceee penguins came marching through the way.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Pretty soon we were surrounded by an iiiiccccceee penguin clan. We tried to fight our way past them to get to the exit, but they ended up beating all of us up and took our lunch money.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Once they stole all of our valuables they allowed us to exit and Julie was excited.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
We both couldn't believe what just happened back there.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Somehow we ended up in the North Pole though and thought we would get a picture of the frozen Santa Claus.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Ricky and Rebekah enjoyed a hug right before Frosty snuck up on them and attacked them, but he was disappointed to find out that their lunch money was already stolen.

Two iiicccceee polar bears enjoy a Coke together.....





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
.....until I showed up and yanked it from his frozen claws!





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
After leaving the 9 degree room the camera quickly fogged up.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
We all had to hurry and get a quick cheesy picture in before the camera fogged up again.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Julie and I knew we could make it through the 9 degree weather and have officially titled ourselves as IICCCCCEEEE THUGS.

And that's the end...Porky Pig style!

- weren't you guys embarrased to wear the same weirdo jackets?

- he who lives in an ice house doesn't throw parties.

- Did they freeze that gnome from that travel agency? Is jabba the hut around?

- The guy who makes the jesus sand sculptures and the guy who made the jesus ice sculpture should have a sculpt off.
