sokolniki park and ice

We thought it would be fun to visit Sokolniki Park. At the park we saw rides for children, cross country skiing, skating, an ice museum, food, AND couples dancing on the ice! Ice sculptures like this are all the way down the plaza on the way to the park. Those are real gerber daisies inside the ice.

We heard music playing and saw all of these people dancing on the ice. YES, our group all danced on the ice and had a great time!

Before going into the ice museum, they had us put on these blue coats...to keep us warm?...we already were dressed for the freezing outside temperature!
