Trapped

I, and my Japanese guest, Kumiko, and my Japanese/Alaskan neighbor, Mariko, spent the afternoon at the ice carving festival.

In the children's play area is this bowl carved of ice. The sides and bottom are so slick that once in, you just can't get out without help. Great way to babysit kids (or guests), -put them in and go off and do something for 45 minutes or an hour but don't worry, they'll still be there when you get back! :-)
