The ice-princess

What an exciting day!
Today was the big day of the internal competition ("Vereinsmeisterschaften") of Helena's figure skating club. Four little girls were waiting anxiously for this day, each of them counting the days. We agreed, there would be two first places and two second places for them.
Only a small competition, but with the feeling of the "real" thing. There were microphones, glitter, glitz and glamour all around. I still believe, that the mommies were more nervous than the girls.
Here's a look:

 Yes, it was fun!

Another hello again.
It has been a while, and a very busy one, indeed.
Last weekend however we made a cut and had some fun with the girls. No work, no worries, just quality time and new places to find out.
On saturday we visited the local swimming pool, which is absolutely exquisite for playing with little ones. It has a very low water area with a water slide for children. That is the place we spend most of our time. But there is also a variety of four more pools with depth of upto 135 cm. So an adult can easily stand and hold the kids over water or they could wear swimming aids.
Two of these pools contains natural salt water and is therefore benefitial for skin deseases and it is clear that Matildas skin greatly improved after visiting there.

Sunday we went to the indoor playground with a collegue and it was a great time. The pictures say all :-)

 Sisters fun going down the slide.

 There was no age or weight limit!

Slowly we our thoughts drift to our return to Finland. We are all looking forward to be back home and see you all again!
