ICE

Thanksgiving 2013 was a great time for the Braden Clan. We all assembled for the holiday to count our many blessings. This included a surprise for Bonnie: Rusty and Anne coming in from New Orleans - they had planned to visit Rusty's relatives in Indiana but came to Tampa instead. Imagine Bonnie's surprise when they knocked at the door at 2 a.m.

We had a very nice thanksgiving day and it was followed by a trip to the Orlando area where all 19 of us put on parkas and other warm clothes for our visit to ICE, a spectacular desplay of ice carvings, this year with a Frosty the Snowman theme.
