Quebec Ice Palace 'OMG'

In the Grand Hall  --an ice scupture bear provides a seat.
The Absolut Ice Bar is a feature every year . It specializes in serving Absolut Vodka in glasses sculped of pure ice . Don't worry parents , hot chocolate is also available .
The Bar's unique ice glasses are pictured  above --- Vodka , it seems , is the only liquid that won't freeze in such a glass  before it meets your  lips. There's also live entertainment  for those who love music and dancing .
Another view of the Ice Bar , and kids in a "booth."

Believe it or not : The Ice Hotel preforms quite a few wedding , the Chapel gets built a-new each year .
This hall is your change to imagine an overnight stay -- you can check out the bed and sleeping bags .
*Note the arched shaped of this room : the entire Ice Hotel  is constructed in arches .
The Ice Hotel has heated washrooms  and an outdoor area with a sauna and hot tubs .
Each sleeping room at the Ice Hotel is a   unique creation .
See you at the Ice Hotel in Quebec............

    Jonny is doing real well with his reading , the teacher said better than she expected and he may be able to catch up with his class this fall or next year .
    Gil's little women is so grown they stink but they have always actd mature .
    They still acts like little girls and very mannerable .They are not like NAN and I was at their age.

    Some of those slave fiction stories had a lot of truth in them.
    It was alright for the masters to poke the slaves , but not the white women .

  3. Your kids sound so great.
    One day soon Man will turn to you and say," Mother, I have always wanted to tell you that, although I enjoy your gumbo you use a tad too much salt and please use fresh ground pepper in future." They will have to scrape you off the floor

  4. Jonny will catch up in his own time. I get the impression that you don't push him in any way. That's good. He had enough stress in his life.
    I love little girls. They love cuddly plush animals to pieces and yet they can be do much more practical than boys.

    Everytime my babies get into something Dad or Gil says I gonna tell your mama .
    Dad was telling Eloise how to make his bed and clean his bathroom and he came back into the kitchen where I was ..Eloise came in there and said Mr. Hunky or whatever your name is today , if you come back in there one more time I am going to tell your boss, Dad asked who's that and she said Your daughter. Dad just laugh and said he will behave .

  6. Dad is a hoot. He loves to bug people in a fun way just like a little kid.I'm glad Eloise doesn't let his bullshit scare her off. She just lets it slide off her.

    I let Jonny go at his own pace .
    The teacher says if he go to summer school he will be able to up a grade .
    I told her he was doing just fine and better than most, he's not dumb , he just missed a lot of school the reason he was held back.
    She said all my babies seem so close and she won't bring it up again . I/I have plans for the summer ...if things work out pretty good we may have to delay them for some time in the future , but Jonny will enjoy his summer with the rest of us.

  8. Summer school kind of takes the fun out of summer vacation for a kid. Time enough to get really serious when he is older.

    Dad/I have plans for the summer if things work out we don't know yet. The Aide is back in pre-school .

  10. I think that the aide is better off in pre-school. Although she might put her foot in her mouth again sometime.

    I think what rags his ass the most is she don't pay him any attention.

    You are right , if he go to summer school, he wouldn't enjoy doing things with the family.
    I couldn't go on Vacation and leave him with Sis ...he may think we didn't want him either. My girls have become attached to him as he to them .

    The pre-school is not close by about 2/3 miles ...I hope she has learned her lesson and not bother anyone else.

  14. I wonder what Blogger is up to now. Maybe you better check the settings again. Every time they upgrade they screw something up on our blog.

  15. You mentioned the other day that the little pencil was back. I never saw it. Has it disappeared on your end too?

    My babies each gave him a folder to put his homework in .

    I got it and they better have ideas to bring to the table .
    Dad says you give me all these ideas and all they have to do is follow-up with ideas to go with them .
    Dad says you have a hubby and mother and your house to care for and still work on Global Warming and I have the shelter ...bears and now the CEO and my family .

    I just made a plain hot tea and put some peppermint flavor in it , it's good .
    Dad says when he write you a letter , he gets carried away and they seem to get longer and longer.
    I just laugh and said you didn't give a shit how long they were.

  28. Eventually you will weed out the freeloaders and have a core group that you can work with.
    If you got a few good pamphlets with some good picures, everyone could distribute them to malls laundomats, people's winshields, supermarkets and people's mail boxes.
    Your people could get on their computers and learn about climate change and start making booklets. Pick out the best ones and print them off.

  29. I like the long letters. Long or short, you're right; I don't give a shit.

    I love the articles on the royals and so do most people. It's like a fairytale, a Cinderella story. I'm looking forward to seeing her dress. I have to admit I did not care for Diana's

    Did you hear about Ted Williams and his daughter had a fight in a hotel in LA and the cops was called ?/ He has 9 children. all grown .

    ReplyDelete
  31. I did not hear about Ted's fight. Maybe that was what he was running away from. Nine nagging kids and a nagging wife and a career that had stalled would drive a lot of people to drink.
    They should leave him alone and let him get on his feet. He is trying to make things right.
