Ice Villlage

The first place we went in the new year was to the ice village by Khan Shatyr. This is where they built a presidential New Year's Tree for this holiday season and it is where they launched the main fireworks at midnight on New Year's. We went to Khan Shatyr first to have a lunch and to buy little sliding boards for the kids. They had a lot of fun sliding on the slides built out of ice, going through the ice maze, climbing some ice sculptures and just being kids.

When we got back to the University Campus, the girls wanted to try their sliding boards on a tiny hill right before the entrance.

A really tiny hill!
