Day 8 in Helsinki

Oh look! I made lemon & berry muffins!


Before

After

And during.

I woke up at noon today. Wanted to go sit down by the lake but failed to do so. Eliel went to camp and Eemil stayed over at his grandma's place. So it's just Helmi at home. She loves to cook. This is her helping out, by putting blueberries into the mixture and into each cup of muffin, while eating some along the way.

What blueberries can do to your hands...

...and lips.

Dinner time!

Grilled sweet potatoes, mushrooms, pineapples, corns and asparagus.

Jaakko, master griller.

Never forget the meat

This is dinner.

Pirakka with butter for snack

And then the ballerina comes out to play...

...who always likes to jump.

Neighbours: The cute lil boy, I think his name is Rasmus, whose father is good looking :p

Meet Siiri, whose favourite Disney princess is the Sleeping Beauty.

I wanted to go out for a walk or cycle to the lake but Helmi wanted to follow. So we cycled. She kept asking where did I wanted to go and I said the lake. But she doesn't know what is a lake. I said where you go to swim. She said there's swimming hall. I said swim in the nature. Its a big place with lots of water. She still doesn't know what I was talking about. In the end, I said, nevermind. Let's go to the airstrip, thinking I could show her the lake from there. She said, ok, let's go. The journey to the airstrip requires some hill climbing. Not even halfway through, she was panting and complaining 'this is reallyyy haarrdd...' I don't blame her. She wasn't riding a bike with different gears. 'Do you have drink?' Oops, should've thought about that.

Sign of defeat

But she was cool. When she said let's go back, I said ok. But she changed her mind and said, let's go a while more. Stopped, took pictures, and then 'let's go a while more.' Ok, let's go. 'I needa rest.' Ok. 'Let's go a while more' Ok. And we reached eventually. But no lake to show her =(

My mode of transport

And once she was done, she left me =(
