Day 2: We walked about five blocks from our hotel to see the snow sculptures: twelve long blocks that took four hours to walk. It was snowing, but warm enough that it melted on our coats, which made for a wet day.
Strolling with friends.
A series of amateur sculptures by Sapporo residents.
An historical building from the Republic of Korea.
Easier to drag a stroller in the snow than push it. We went with the backpack our next time out.
Something like "Miss Sapporo Snow Festival" beauty contest?
This one was actually quite small--the detail was amazing.
Japanese school children on a field trip. Their colored caps indicate their class and grade.
Renee's favorite--wild animals native to the northern mountains.
A little touch of Germany.
One of the international teams preparing for the snow sculpture competition.
Taking a break for sliding (while Mommy was in line for the bathroom).
Checking out a little leaf-capped snowman.
A US Army band performing with very cold hands.
Ricky sliding--over and over again.
Special treat: chocolate covered banana.
Drummers in front of the 2016 Olympics sculpture.
Rick and Ricky riding a mini-train (3rd from the front).
Ricky LOVED it--Rick just about choked on the foul smoke.
An enormous ocean animals ice sculpture accompanied by live music played in a glass box (below).
Tokyo Disney, of course.
