First Day in Finland

Our first day started at 4 am this morning. We tried to keep it quiet for a while, but finally we decided to go for a walk. I didn't think the greenery wouldn't be as shocking since we live in a green place now, but I am still amazed by all the trees everywhere.  Saku was so worried that Aleksi would touch nokkonen. Eerika got a bit cold, but Aleksi enjoyed the walk.

By 8:30 am, Eerika was ready for bed. I followed her and by 11 am everyone was napping. And everyone had a nice deep sleep and it was so hard to wake Aleksi and Saku up. They just kept sleeping no matter where they were. 

We spent the evening on the beach. All of the kids loved playing in the water.  Eerika would actually dip in all the way while the boys stuck to staying only knee deep. Aleksi started signing "car" which means that he was the first one to want to go home. 

The day included eating ruisleipa, eating too much candy, Eerika writing letters and drawing pictures, Saku playing chess with isi and ukki, sauna night.
