Steven&co - Estonian tales

As strange as it may be in a country where winter seems to last eternally: we had our first real winter fun this weekend! Two days of playing around in the snow and enjoying sunny winter weather.

Pille went skiing (the cross-country type, also called langlauf, but without tracks), and we all went walking in the snow and threw the occasional snowball.

I also tried the Finnish sledge (basically a chair mounted on a pair of very long ice skates), Joonas pretended to be a snow angel and the family got a bit larger with the addition of a snow-little-girl-with-cap and a snow-soldier-in-the-independence-day-parade.

I hadn’t done any of these things in years, so re-living far away childhood memories made it extra fun!
