Ice Carving

So this weekend we went to the Park Meadows Mall, they were doing the Grand Opening of the Vista's, just more shops and dining...it's pretty nice. But we went because Gavin, Cameron's brother, was carving ice! They had an ice carver in front of each restaurant. It was really fun, and so fun to get to watch Gavin do his stuff! Here's some pics:

He starts out by "sketching" onto the ice...

Then he starts cutting away! It's amazing to see how much detail he can get with the chainsaw....and also how he can picture the 3D in his mind....no way could I do that!


Then he gets more detailed...here he is doing the grapes on the side of the wine bottle (it was an Italian restaurant)

Almost done....
Finished product. It also had a luge going through the back of the bottle, for the servers to pour their signature lemonade through. Pretty sweet! It took him about 45 minutes to do....and he was trying to keep it slow!



Kai was freaking out about keeping his hood on, he was not enjoying the shavings flying everywhere!


But he was still having fun :)

We also enjoyed the flame throwers! They went all out!



All in all, a really pretty, fun evening :)
