Well, I have made it back from the snowy mountains of Sapporo, Japan! I have to say that I highly recommend the Snow Festival! :) Being surrounded by snow and snow sculptures really brings out your inner-child. Especially if you weren't around much snow as a child!
So, I had to take a picture with the man wearing glasses. I know--I'm a nerd!
Glamour Girls! So, on our way to Sapporo, we discover in Glamour magazine that if you take a picture holding the magazine somewhere interesting, they might put your pic in the next month's issue. How many other Glamour readers could possibly be at this year's festival?! So, fingers crossed you'll see our faces in Glamour next month! :)
Amy and Allison enjoying the sculptures! There's no way to describe how big these are without getting a human in the picture as a reference!!
My inner-child catching snowflakes on my tongue!
I just liked this one--I like elephants!
We took a little day-trip to Otura, a town about 40 minutes away. We were told it had a strong Russian-influence in it's architecture, but the only thing we found was the canal. Other than that, it looked like the rest of Japan! :) But, we enjoyed a pretty heavy snowfall, a nice cup of hot chocolate and purchased a few handmade glass items. Not too bad of an afternoon!
You have to enlarge this picture to really appreciate it. Along with the snow sculptures, there was a collection of ice sculptures. Great place to get ideas for those expensive weddings they show on WE. Anyway, this one shows a fisherman holding a REAL fishing pole trying to reel in the big catch! It was amazing to see in person! It was about 7 feet tall, but it's hard to take a picture of something that almost completely clear!
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!! I love y'all!!!!
