Gilbert - An Icy Trip part 2

 More pictures we took at the ice sculpture festival.


Well, Diana took this one of my owner on an icy throne.

We saw Gollum.


And Darwin.


This guy is from Toy Story I think.

More Science Fiction Celebrities..

Including a creepy one!

R2D2





This was based on Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas by Jules Verne.


A vision of the future.

This is Paul Bunyan and his ox, Babe.



Dinosaur skeletons.


Soon, you guessed it: more ice!

Gilbert - An Icy Trip part 1

 On February 18 we went on a trip with my owner's friend Diana. She picked us up and then we drove for 2 hours!

We did stop to stretch our legs and admire the view.



Finally we arrived in Biddinghuizen where there was an ice sculpture festival. What a bad time to forget my hat again!

There were many beautiful sculptures. 



I loved this swamp monster.



The Death Tarot Card


A penguin with a book.

I had to take a picture of this bookcase for Sullivan.


A walrus relaxing with beer and popcorn.

And you could relax right next to him as well. (no popcorn and beer though...)

A really cool fish monster!



Charon

More pictures I just had to take to show Sullivan.



More ice sculptures soon!

Gilbert - Snow, IKEA, and More Fun Stuff

 

We had snow in Groningen!

It was really cold, and I forgot my hat, so no pictures of me in the snow, or I might have ended up looking like this.

Last Friday we went to IKEA.
We had something to eat, and I got French fries!

Yum!

This is what we bought at IKEA.
A rolling table/storage thing. 

Now our owner can lounge or work on the sofa bed in her workroom, and keep books and other things close at hand.

We got Beanie Mail.
Both Sullivan and I won at Bus Bingo!

I got a commemorative coin!
It will be kept with our other special coins.

Sullivan got a cat button!
It's already displayed on our cork flag garland.

Thanks, Beanie!

We went into town yesterday, so here's your usual Martini Tower Spam.

And Nieuwe Kerk Spam of course.

Back home I relaxed in this cool T-Rex mug we got as a present from friends. 
I got a cool energy drink, but I couldn't use the mug, because my owner wants to use the mug to store bookmarks.

The Capybara decided to join and arranged mood lighting.


More soon: We're going on an outing in the very near future!
