The hotel hires these asian artisans to come in and sculpt these ice sculptures out of 2 million tons of ice. The display is then kept frozen in the convention center with freezer units that maintain a temperature of only NINE (9) degrees. They provide a parka...but it was still freezy.

We had a good Thanksgiving at Scott's house.
I think the best part was all being together since Scott lives in St. George now. Sheila will move down in January, and Drew and Lynette will stay in the Highland house as it goes on the market.
A few highlights from our weekend:
Here's RJ wearing Grandpa Kelly's oil ring after he fell asleep.

Drew's been full time in barber school for 4 months, and Scott felt that was finally sufficient to give Drew a try.
Inspecting as they go....
When Drew was done, Scott said it was perfect.
Drew will open his own barber shop next to Lynette's tailoring/ seamstress business in the spring.
I think most people might already know through Facebook or our blog, but we're pregnant with our 2nd, having a little girl in March. So RJ will be 3 years older and we're all excited. We're liking Idaho, and have tons of snow from these last 2 weeks.

32 weeks and counting! Here is a picture from a week ago at one of my baby showers. Its been a busy month since I arrived in town in October. After the family/family friends baby shower last Sunday, I took the red eye to Bermuda to see John. He was there sorting out some stuff for our move there next year. It was nice to see him, we had already spent 3 weeks apart, and now just 4 more until he comes out in December for the long haul!. I returned on Friday and had friends baby shower on Saturday, so needless to say its been nonstop!
Looking forward to Thanksgiving next week, just have a sorority reunion at our house this Saturday and then I can concentrate on some serious eating! Really looking forward to "nest" and get the nursery in order for the babies arrival.
Hope everyone is well and wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving! We all have a lot to be thankful for - esp great family!

Copenhagen, Denmark
21 October 2010

Yes, autumn has arrived in Denmark. The day was sunny but it was only in the high 40's. I was a bit chilly, but enjoyed exploring this cool city.
I didn't have to look too hard for my "guy on a horse."
I didn't have to look too hard for my "guy on a horse." I think I counted a total of 4 other statues around the city.
City Hall.
The Royal Arsenal.
They had this medevil festival going on today with live music, people in costumes, and local music.
More cannons at the Royal Arsenal.
This is the Royal Garden at Rosenborg Castle. I didn't take a picture of the castle because it was ugly. It is under renovations and covered with a tarp...not worth seeing. But the garden was lovely. Similar to Hyde Park and Central Park. It appears all cities have a big park like this.


This is Christiansborg Palace.
This is a guard hut at the palace. I didn't see any guards, so I climbed in for a photo. Don't think that was kosher, as I saw a sign in another hut that read, "Do Not Enter." Oh well, I didn't get caught and dragged off to some Danish prison, so all is good.
Beautiful doorway (this door is about 15 feet high) in the palace that opens onto a courtyard pictured below with another "guy on a horse."

The gateway to the palace.
A canal runs through and around the city. On a pier on the canal were these
cool sculptures.

Stained glass house. (No stone throwing please.)
And some wild, modern art job.

This is St. Alban's church. It was just so beautiful how it was pertched ontop this grassy knoll in the middle of the city.
Beautifully colorful shops along the canal throughout the city.
Just a picture I caputred as I walked down a street of shops. Flowers everywhere and more bikes in this city than I noticed in any other city I visited this summer.
Not only tons of bikes, but sculptures like this one, on every street corner.
Manhole cover. Debbie suggested that I capture the image of the manwhole covers in all the cities I visit. I started in Stockholm because I thought it was so cool and detailed for a manhole cover, so here it is. Not as cool as Stockholm's, but neat idea. (Thanks Debbie.)
I heart CPH (which is actually the airpot/airline code for Copenhagen)
I had a great time here today. Although it was very chilly, I really enjoyed myself. There were so many other pictures to take, but my battery on my iphone went dead.
So I came back to the hotel and ate kippers and cheese.
