For the last few years, Holland has hosted an ice sculpting competition on the main drag of our downtown. Some of the kids and I went two years ago, but this year we decided to all venture out and see the very fascinating works of art. Keyan doesn’t typically spend much time out in the cold weather but the sun was shining and the wind was virtually nonexistent so we bundled her up and away we went. The sculptures were really amazing to see and the kids had a blast trying to figure out what they all were. For some reason, Keyan thought that the sculpted fish were hilarious and we all enjoyed watching her face light up every time she spotted another fish. While warming up at home over some hot chocolate, we asked the kids what they would sculpt is they were in the competition. Jamahl said he would chisel out a Star Wars scene (no surprise to anyone!) McKenzy would cut out a Mickey Mouse, Abby would create the Mickey symbol from the Disney Channel, Keyan would sculpt an Elmo, and Sidney said she would need Jamahl’s help to do a dragon. How fun to see their imaginations at work!
