Mommy hello!

I'm here! I'm in Finland now! Jey!  :D

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-hjvWgivljzw/T5a7e_qHP-I/AAAAAAAAJvw/8hpkRNQIbRs/s448/t%2520002.JPG

There were many smiling faces waiting for me, when I came out of my box. They all seems to be so nice. Mommy, I feel very welcome here! :)

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-rcBljTRnO6s/T5a7gAPB1WI/AAAAAAAAJwA/EURMhfvvk8Q/s448/t%2520003.JPG

All other ToyVoyagers gave me a group hug as a welcome. So nice!

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-kHHhZU1Iw8M/T5a7f1KHDJI/AAAAAAAAJv8/Hzk9ImP5EnA/s448/t%2520004.JPG

And here we are: Ape Apina, PinkLady, Hipsu, me, Finfin, Sylvia, Mo, Porridge and Tokki.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0_Ek2hTQ_y8/T5a7hBkMhoI/AAAAAAAAJwQ/xvfifuyTh2g/s448/t%2520005.JPG

Mommy, guess what Hipsu told me as we talked to each other? She said that she will start her first travel soon, and she will come to visit YOU mommy! Wow! Is it amazing?  :o  :D  :D

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-J_VHUotdD_Y/T5a7g6LY2SI/AAAAAAAAJwE/SNfOlH6EnXY/s448/t%2520006.JPG

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Fkry0bBqVNM/T5a7hGBc2YI/AAAAAAAAJwM/zLRDBCgb1Vc/s448/t%2520007.JPG

Hostmom is so nice to me. I'm sure I will have happy days here.
Hostmom showed me the photo of the rainbow (the photo you mommy took, but I coudn't see it anymore, because I was already in my envelope/box). Oooh, the rainbow looks so beautiful indeed! Wow!

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-oUi3MbOaQYc/T5a7p0cg_0I/AAAAAAAAJxE/bvRC0igVaho/s448/t%2520009.JPG

Then hostmom showed me, where I am now.
Mommy, can you see the red spot in Central Finland in this map? There is Jyväskylä, this town. Hostmom told me that Jyväskylä has 175th anniversary in this year. And there's living about 130 000 people in this city.

Then I showed photos and video about Luxembourg. Everyone said that Luxembourg is a beautiful country. And hostmom said that she has visited in Luxembourg, but it was many years ago.

Mommy hello!

Guess what? There was an envelope today, too! And there came a cute teddy bear Ronja from Germany from that envelope. There's starting to have so many TVs here right now. But I think that the more, the more fun we all have!  :D
We gave a group hug to Ronja as a welcome.

Love you mommy,

Hey mommy!

In the morning I watched through the window, and I noticed there were so many clouds in the sky. Everywhere looks blue and gray, and that was so sad...

I was thinking that there must be at least one way to feel better, and bring sunshine and happiness inside. So, I decided to make a sun myself. Maybe my sun will bring some light here...

And I did it!  B)

Others did, too!  B)  B)  B)

And it worked, we all feel much better now. :)

Hello mommy!

The making own sun was really powerful thing, because in the afternoon it was sunny weather outside! How cool! We had sunshine inside and outside, too! B)

In the first photo there's a white house, where my hostmom is living on the second floor.  :)

Because it looked so nice outside, I went there, and relax in sun bath.  B)

Look mommy, so much of snow has already melted away. Spring has come, and snow is dissapearing really fast. And the ice on the lake is melting, too.

Yeah, summer will come soon!  B)

"Hi mommy! ... Hello! ... Are you there? ... It's me, Telie, I'm here.

Wow, this macine is amazing! I can chat with you, even though I'm so far away from home. It's so nice to talk with you, mommy! Hostmom told me this small macine is a phone, and in Finnish it is puhelin or kännykkä.

Well, let me tell you something, mom. Today was quite boring day, just because it was raining outside during the hole day long! So, I couldn't go outside to play or see places at all today.  We all were inside and tried to think something nice things to do. But guess what? None of us has any idea, and it made us all very sleepy. And we went to sleep... Quite boring day, isn't it?

Hmmmm, nothing else to say for today. I hope tomorrow is the better day, and fun.

Bye for now, mommy! Love and kisses!
Telie"

Hey mom!

Today was much better weather outside than yesterday, so I went to outside.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-me1mn3qkSm4/T5sFkyFwHPI/AAAAAAAAJ7M/wm8PM8uKUK0/s512/telie%2520006.JPG

Did you know, that in the flag of Finland, blue colour symbolises the blue sky? And white colour symbolises pure white snow? And the shape of cross symbolises the Nordic country?

Well, now you know!  :D

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Wen4x8C9CDU/T5sFltVGg4I/AAAAAAAAJ7Y/8ijXX8jZmgg/s512/telie008.JPG

In the evening I was in the playground to have some fun time there. The place's name is Eilan puisto, and it's located very near of hostmom's home. It was really fun!

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-hkNft9xbtFo/T5sFq1uuu3I/AAAAAAAAJ8E/Q-jUT_hg5jY/s640/telie076.JPG

I was swinging. It was really fun, too!  :D

There were me and Ronja, Mo, Sylvia, Porridge, Finfin, Tokki and PinkLady.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-B_vOvytLLx4/T5sEujQ4bKI/AAAAAAAAJyY/DSKxrHJM_Jg/s640/031.JPG

Then I was swinging in other swing! :D

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-zwhKc-Nx9-0/T5sF6VrixCI/AAAAAAAAJ8w/Faq6uzzEAb0/s640/062.JPG

I was in the same side of the swing as Finfin, Sylvia and PinkLady.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-W-8h06terv8/T5sE1UFgx2I/AAAAAAAAJzI/icfJklPvO3Q/s640/064.JPG

Then we all decided to go to slide. :)
First must climb the stairs...

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-aQnHf_EWbXc/T5sEuE7QvCI/AAAAAAAAJyM/2cYsE4gcAyU/s640/032.JPG

...and then it's time for the funniest part! :D

We decided to slide all together in the same time. Oh, how crazy idea!  :rolleyes:
But before that, we must climb the stairs once again.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Vjy6DxnEmsM/T5sE3g3fZaI/AAAAAAAAJzQ/Qk4-VYO208o/s640/088.JPG

As the way back inside, I saw some real living birds there. And there were so many of them! Cool!  B) (Mommy, just take a look at the photo very carefully. Can you see those small white spots flying just in front of trees? Yes, they are birds!)

Hello mommy!

Today I got one of my life mission completed! I eat green macaron!  :D

First I climbed to hostmom's bag. And we went to shop by some food.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-O0culupYa4w/T5w94fdMz8I/AAAAAAAAKD8/LeOkkcibC2A/s356/050.jpg

In the shop I found that part of the shop where they sell macaronis. And I really did find some green macaronis there!  :D

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-WeWWwBVxSx4/T5w94iGnXMI/AAAAAAAAKEE/w6mhpLiyd08/s448/051.jpg

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0Lg1BD39arc/T5w9loAMD2I/AAAAAAAAJ_c/BzHn7kP8mJg/s448/001.JPG

When water is boiling, I put macaronis to water.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-wTh8j1mXOWA/T5w9lqUnBRI/AAAAAAAAJ_g/cvEpbXFkWJY/s436/003.JPG

Hey mom!

I was outside today, because there's so nice sunshine there.  B) 

It was nice to walk next to the lake and see how spring is totally here.  :)

I saw the first small flowers of this year's spring, and first leaf in the trees. Also some birds and beautiful landscape!

Hostmom is living just next to this beautiful lake. Oh, she is so lucky!

Hey mommy!

I have had such a great time today!  B)

It's a day before the May Day, so it's time to celebrate and have a party! 

In the May Day Eve (April 30th) and May Day (May 1st) Finnish people are celebrating, too. May Day is almost like a spring carneval or festival in Finland.

We decided to have a fancy dress party. It was really fun!
We dressed ourselves as ourselves.

Mommy, I'm here!!! (No, I was only kidding!!!  ;) It's Finfin, who has dressed and now pretending to be me!)  B)

Hello mom!

Party goes on! :D How cool!  B)

It's May Day Eve today, and I tasted something Finnish May Day sweet. They called it as tippaleipä (=funnel cake).

Wikipedia says this about funnel cakes (click) "Funnel cakes are made by pouring unleavened batter into hot cooking oil in a circular pattern and deep frying the overlapping mass until golden-brown. When made at concession stands, a pitcher with an integral funnel spout is employed. Funnel cakes are typically served plain with powdered sugar."

And a drink is sima.

Wikipedia says this about sima (click)
"Sima is a sweet mead, still an essential seasonal, sparkling brew connected with the Finnish Vappu festival. It is usually spiced by adding both the flesh and rind of a lemon. During secondary fermentation raisins are added to control the amount of sugars and to act as an indicator of readiness for consumption — they will swell by absorbing carbon dioxide and rise to the top of the bottle when the drink is ready."

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Z4BE-fiKlFs/T5w91_2X5CI/AAAAAAAAKDI/7X-B77rQ3GM/s396/039.JPG

It was so yummy!  :p

:)

Every year in May Day Eve, the statue of Minna Canth has got a special hat, ylioppilaslakki (=white cap). It's always few students, who can put the hat on the Minna Canth's head.
Here's some pictures about that seremony:

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-9tAv1d-lLug/T6AuqHHZAHI/AAAAAAAAKLU/Z5pkPL2_F48/s640/002%2520%25282%2529.JPG

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-fitKaiHhVY8/T6AurC7iCBI/AAAAAAAAKLk/mcgK-FUnQGk/s640/011%2520%25282%2529.JPG

Hostmom told me, that not all can own this special white cap. Only they, who has successfully completed the upper secondary school final exams, matriculation examinations, can have those white caps. And this time of the year, Vappu (May Day), is the time for celebrate this. 


When we were back inside, I could try hostmom's white cap. :)
Do I look cool, mom?

Hi mommy!

Because it's May Day, there was a flag of Finland in the flagpole. The flag looks quite nice, when the sky is so blue (today it was!)

Today I did also something exiting! I went to see some very cool cars!  B)

There was a Car Show in Jyväskylä, so there were SO MANY old and new, and cool cars there!  B)  B)  B)

Hello mommy!

Today I had really exiting day!

Guess what I did? Hostmom took me with her to a postcrossing meeting! The meeting was in a postcard shop named Harjun Paperi, in the Jyväskylä city center.

It was really fun! I met other nice Finnish people, and a real living dog, too! But don't worry mom, the dog was very kind.

I wrote postcards, and asked all to write their names in my own small notebook, eat some little snacks, and have a little adventure in the shop between all those wonderful postcards and other little stuff there. And guess what mom? There were also many little frogs there, too! I had a great time as you can see from photos.

Ooooh, I found a picture of a cow who slides!  :o

The picture is in a milk carton. Mommy, do you think they got milkshake in Finland by shaking cows by letting cows to slide?  :o 

Well, I was kidding!!!  ;)  :D It's only a picture. But I think it's a cute one.

Hello mommy!

I found this cute thing today. It's quite interesting... What it might be?
Mommy, is this thing perhaps a rocket? Is it going to space?  :o  :thinking:

We got some company today. There were an envelope in today's mail. And yes, there was a ToyVoyager inside!  :D

We all were wondering, who this new TV might be.  :thinking:
We only saw a brown head and two big white teeth peeking out of the envelope. I haven't ever seen that kind of creature before.  :o

The new TV came out of the envelope, and introduced as a B.o.B. the beaver. :)

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-gbptZFx1mXc/T6N_jo6wviI/AAAAAAAAKZM/Pl66sugZpx0/s640/003.JPG

B.o.B. gave us some candies.  :p

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Ee9Us3oRTSo/T6N_kjaP1aI/AAAAAAAAKZg/4yntOL9SAVc/s640/004.JPG

I gave B.o.B. a hug as a welcome. :)

Hi mommy!

At first, I want to say this warning to everyone, who is reading this...
IF YOU ARE AFRAID OF SPIDERS OR SOME OTHER SMALL BUGS, DON'T READ THIS UPDATE!


Well, now it has been said, and I can continue to tell you, what I have done. :)

I did today something really exiting! Mommy, can you guess what I did? It's related to spiders!!! How cool!  B) I tell you that little bit later...

First, I need to go outside, because we all walked to this "secret-spider-place". But, it was raining, and it wasn't quiet raining. It was raining a lot!

But don't worry mom, I didn't get wet, I got my umbrella with me.  :D

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-dOMZJOuAMrs/T6aCaaDnNxI/AAAAAAAAKbw/eVZf5amTrDY/s512/002.JPG

And now it's time to tell you, mom, where I was going. I visited to see the Tarantula Birdspider Exhibition (more info: click here ) <--- I'm sorry, it's Finnish
There were many different big spiders, tarantulas, and other bugs and butterflies, too, showed from all over the World.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-hVVlKuqCTck/T6aEteH6JLI/AAAAAAAAKp0/Xp1bLodMR-M/s800/121.JPG

First, I saw some really beautiful butterflies. Some of them were SO BIG sized.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-OmEGark7v3A/T6aCwklPNXI/AAAAAAAAKgw/BMCfdZJABsk/s640/047.JPG

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-60kXE_egJRw/T6aCvnqRH_I/AAAAAAAAKgc/ls7UJz-pd_w/s640/045.JPG

...And some bugs...

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-D_qoaMg9pBU/T6aCwYpb5uI/AAAAAAAAKgs/Z_Ix4d5gb_g/s640/046.JPG

...And some cool and BIG sized spiders!

This one was the biggest tarantula in the exhibition.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-RXzDMfrv1Io/T6aCr6SEKpI/AAAAAAAAKfo/S04BlDSbmUU/s512/039.JPG

I'm sorry about the quality of photos, but there were difficult lights for taking photos in that exhibition room.

This spider is just going to under his tree-cave. Can you see it, mom?

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ZLOi8bYLaZw/T6aD49XVqMI/AAAAAAAAKmA/ouu8puJiCqk/s512/087.JPG

Hello mommy!

I was watching the really B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L sunset in hostmom's backyard today.

I think the nature in Finland looks very beautiful, indeed!

And I think my hostmom is really lucky to live in this environmental, just next to this small lake.

Love,

Hi mom!

Guess what? Another ToyVoyager arrived here today!

He is Erol the Pirat from Germany.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-6A3r93fNtV8/T6gfyVKk4CI/AAAAAAAAKtg/ZPMESpjmqlQ/s640/089.JPG

We all gave him a group hug as a welcome. :)

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-k7IhCwxaHVk/T6gf0JBpraI/AAAAAAAAKs8/OLTEyVnIcFE/s640/092.JPG

He showed a postcard from his hometown, and we ate candies what he has brought from his home. They were so yummy!  :p

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-KI7Ylz-yqyY/T6gfycroE1I/AAAAAAAAKsg/OgaCSiGW1II/s640/091.JPG

Hi mommy!

I had a fantastic and so funny day today!!!

I visited in the amusement park named Suomen Tivoli!!!  B)

I was there with all other ToyVoyagers. And guess what? We met a new puppy toy (look the second photo).  He wasn't a ToyVoyager, he was with one employer of the amusement park. He came to sit next to us to the bench, and he was in the same photo with us! 

There were so many crazy things in that amusement park. And I was so brave, because I went to The Giant Wheel. It was so exiting, but I really liked the views. Hostmom took good care of me, I was in her lap or in her hands all the time.

Hostmom told me this Suomen Tivoli is the travelling amusement park. It stays some times in one city, and then it travels to the other city, and it travels in different parts of Finland.

I had a really great time today!  :D

Love,
Telie

Hey mommy!

Because hostmom feels like she propably going to have a flu, we all stayed inside today, and just relax.

I found today's newspaper Keskisuomalainen, and I read it. But mommy, all is written in Finnish! So weird language!!!
So, I concentrated to watch the pictures, and offcourse the weather forecast. :)

Hostmom put a little note in the bottle, too. She wrote one of her e-mail address there, so it's possible if someone will find the bottle, he can write a message to hostmom's e-mail.

Now we can only wait...  :)

Hey mommy!

Today I was cycling with my hostmom and all other ToyVoyagers.
And because Finland is "the country with thousands of lakes" we were cycling around the lake named Jyväsjärvi. There I saw beautiful nature of this town. And guess what... the lake is just next to city center!

Hostmom also told me that there's about 188 000 lakes in Finland. Wow! So many!  :o Cool!  B)

Look how nice little basket hostmom put in her bicycle. We all toys travelled in it. :)

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-mxRdSkvX01M/T7UWNMNeCOI/AAAAAAAALWw/HayoRx23Gjc/s640/001.JPG

And here we go! Oh, mommy, I can already see the lake! Can you?

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-X13t3FZNXjo/T7UWM0_HptI/AAAAAAAALWs/UB1dAudUtac/s640/002.JPG

From there we just came...

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-w-ZoNywJnnM/T7UWRdjlvvI/AAAAAAAALXg/ebZIeihUIYE/s640/011.JPG

And there you can see the lake, a street for cars and a railway, too.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-odG9PGuG6VQ/T7UWQRLkM1I/AAAAAAAALXU/GEspi-rFG4I/s640/010.JPG

Now we are even more close to the lake Jyväsjärvi.

And this is the bridge of Kuokkala.

Going forward.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-VrCFgsGYJfw/T7UWypceHAI/AAAAAAAALfA/2Rp0wqMW8P4/s512/079.JPG

The bridge of Kuokkala even one more time.
Hostmom took so many photos...  :rolleyes:

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Pv7XWQmBO7Q/T7UW0HlqvdI/AAAAAAAALfU/5wrO94wuOa8/s512/080.JPG

And again the bridge of Kuokkala...
C'moon hostmom, please stop taking pictures, and continue cycling.  :rolleyes:

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Ll8QZoVlHt8/T7UWz2LaQxI/AAAAAAAALfQ/_CbfRAya6QM/s512/081.JPG

Thanks. Now it's the right direction: forward.
(By the way mom, we are in Lutakko, it's the one part of Jyväskylä (as Kuokkala)).

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ta5-mflV5io/T7UW0c6nIuI/AAAAAAAALfY/9YaryWnbP9o/s512/082.JPG

Oh my... even one more photo of the bridge of Kuokkala!  :rolleyes:

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-RV8wm8RUxVw/T7UW2No7m5I/AAAAAAAALfs/RIq5keA8KpY/s512/083.JPG

YES, keep going hostmom...

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-QGwNsV4IPGc/T7UW3wUHibI/AAAAAAAALgQ/pisrRvsXXJQ/s512/088.JPG

Ok, I have to admit, that this view is quite nice (there's the bridge of Kuokkala again in the picture, hih).

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-RzcEMlgjjao/T7UW6BAnpuI/AAAAAAAALgY/41L-6nlI5VU/s640/092.JPG

It's so nice that there's this small street for pedestrians and bikes so close this lake.
Hostmom told me, that this is the popular for people to exercise by walking, running, cycling, rolleyskating etc. around this lake.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-SSI97OPbl8Q/T7UW78hZ4BI/AAAAAAAALhE/tZhsJrHNZsY/s512/097.JPG

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-RsNl7AUGMkM/T7UW9xnyLpI/AAAAAAAALhk/zJCn67OTSPs/s512/101.JPG

There's Lutakko.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Z-Cr__Nhznc/T7UW9K7GaoI/AAAAAAAALhs/S6ud_5QmklM/s640/100.JPG

And there's Kuokkala.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-GvSPNKb33vE/T7UW8lMdZvI/AAAAAAAALhM/BRwDrL2teSY/s640/099.JPG

And there are both: Kuokkala and Lutakko.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-BVTQavBtBzs/T7UW8KUB_LI/AAAAAAAALhQ/vwwqrDBNVNs/s640/098.JPG

Look mom! Can you see that small castle just in front?

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Ju0o-0z3s_E/T7UW9_vRJxI/AAAAAAAALho/c-WwCQzEQvk/s512/102.JPG

The castle is part of the park named Peukkula. It's a place where children can play all the day, and meet some fairy tale creatures!!!  B)

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Y9LSzt56Ss4/T7UXDJ59I_I/AAAAAAAALi4/0C_Pl97uyts/s640/111.JPG

Now we are in the bridge named Äijälänsilta. Look, there's two men canoeing there! Can you see them?

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-y6TAafMP_Vs/T7UXEEgjJPI/AAAAAAAALjE/tGUBv1WV7R0/s512/114.JPG

And now our little journey continues. :)

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-UORq3BWBY_A/T7UXFK8E-GI/AAAAAAAALjQ/wPgnR9auDcU/s512/116.JPG

There's city center... So so far!!!

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-gYgQtcgFq_8/T7UXHantZxI/AAAAAAAALjk/sp-7qvcBMWs/s512/118.JPG

Isn't this view nice? There's many birches, very typical tree in Finland.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-n2kfFhSNuEE/T7UYUXNmWhI/AAAAAAAALm4/zjR54f4Ezlg/s512/119.JPG

Hih hih... Guess what is this bridge's name... YES, it's the bridge of Kuokkala, only from the other side of the lake now.  :D

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-QAzVkeZ7GhA/T7UXIdJw7nI/AAAAAAAALjw/VCDFZjUENH4/s512/122.JPG

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-g79TEdH_Ixc/T7UYUeQg2eI/AAAAAAAALm0/7gV8qUYKCKY/s512/123.JPG

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-81n3ac-Q6_c/T7UYgfwDP2I/AAAAAAAALnc/rZpjD3OznPc/s512/125.JPG

Look, there's two wild ducks swimming (yes, those two small black spots in the lake)

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-f0dxpnAf95Y/T7UXLc9vLJI/AAAAAAAALj8/pTTdlmBX21A/s512/127.JPG

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Zhb09GwRlU0/T7UYVMs-qzI/AAAAAAAALnA/UzlQtttomTE/s640/128.JPG

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-KS7pmabejK0/T7UYVj7L28I/AAAAAAAALnE/pWZnLtuSjpM/s512/129.JPG

On the left side, there's trees.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-RCre9i2cxaE/T7UXOJGSxCI/AAAAAAAALkE/ascsRGTjukU/s512/130.JPG

And on the right side, there's the lake.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-NCnegZo6Ilo/T7UXQtyPZeI/AAAAAAAALkY/1olX-shvwXk/s512/132.JPG

This bridge called as Mattilanniemen silta (a bridge of Mattilanniemi).

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-3CA6B9RMCI0/T7UXQvOOeJI/AAAAAAAALkc/1FcPOmlsSSI/s512/133.JPG

A cute small bridge. :)

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Q9CC2Mpp3RM/T7UXUOcg5XI/AAAAAAAALk8/EAq9q5j5ods/s512/138.JPG

Now we have cycled around the hole lake!

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-QHXtNLqgEQ4/T7UXVGlcr-I/AAAAAAAALlI/5Vz8vLCx7kA/s512/139.JPG

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-eZNY4Zt6zP4/T7UXVqC6QEI/AAAAAAAALlM/8-mDus2KCD0/s512/140.JPG

When we were back inside, we looked from the map, where we were cycled exactly. Look the red line around the lake, that is the way we were cycled today. Hostmom told me, we cycled about 15 kilometres. Wow!  B)

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Ipy4T3I8MBc/T7UXV1zIFZI/AAAAAAAALlQ/1K4Irw8I6Po/s640/141.JPG

It was nice!

Hello mom!

It's time to say goodbye to ToyVoyager Sylvia. She is leaving here.
I'm going to miss her, because she is so nice little tiger.

We all said goodbye to her.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-57G6II8iESs/T7X2m6MRsiI/AAAAAAAALn0/fIFlR70BzW8/s640/001.JPG

And we gave her a group hug as goodbye.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Jk0v1HA4jaU/T7X2mx8YpXI/AAAAAAAALns/tN0sKL4MEd0/s640/002.JPG

Then we watched when Sylvia went into her envelope. Bye Sylvia!

Hi mom!

Sylvia left here earlier today, BUT we got more company today, too.

ToyVoyager Mi Nam arrived here. She is like a bunny and a pig, too. Both of them! How cool!  B)

It's so nice to have more friends! :)

Hey mommy!

I have been so good time with my ToyVoyager friends here, that I haven't got a time to write updates daily...

Hostmom has got busy days at work lately, and she has been quite tired after the work day, so we toys have been doing something ourselves. One of the most nicest thing we have done, is playing different boardgames. It has been fun!

We have been played for example the Monopoly, Muuttuva labyrintti (the changing labyrinth) and different kinds of plays with playing cards.

Hostmom promised, that I can go outside soon, because the weather forecast has told there will be so nice weather here in the next following days. :)

Love,

Hello mom!

I was outside today with other ToyVoyagers.

We went walking to the hostmom's backyard. There's already a summer here, and there's so green in everywhere!

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-3cfgGhM4edQ/T74nK6d0OwI/AAAAAAAALt8/_vXSoGgW-k0/s640/001.JPG

I wanted to see more, so I jumped to the tree, a birch (koivu in Finnish).

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-m0K2RgycWZ4/T74pCk9zKJI/AAAAAAAAL-o/319y-aFmanI/s512/011.JPG

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Iqk6HsuYrm4/T74nQMd5EaI/AAAAAAAALvA/s0s0cC-LNwI/s640/012.JPG

There's the house of hostmom's home.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-411GAitg7Kc/T74nZOzjjlI/AAAAAAAALwk/OivK9E_5CPc/s640/025.JPG

We went to see the flowers more closer.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FOiHNdNIZds/T74qgplCQiI/AAAAAAAAL_M/_Tk3AiZgLaw/s640/095.JPG

Here are we all just taking a little brake off walking.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-CEaOqQZ6GvE/T74oI1eSiOI/AAAAAAAAL5c/MLHJLYMoPUI/s640/110.JPG

Then we walked to see the lake. And we all were sitting and watched the lake and landscape there.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-y0vKmU9sRzY/T74oKylyJ5I/AAAAAAAAL58/91WyNJ9Nh6A/s640/119.JPG

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-m9NjpAnbNFo/T74rF5bzzUI/AAAAAAAAL_g/wb8SsXsDzjA/s640/164.JPG

Hello mom!

I had a w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l day!  :D

Guess what I did... I was in a TOYVOYAGER MEETING!!!
Just great!!! I met sooooooo many new ToyVoyagers, and we had so much fun!
B)

Here are we all toys together in Kirkkopuisto (a church park).
Our hosts and moms mmm105 and Reissari from Finland, and RikeH from Germany has organized this meeting, thanks for them!

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-6_PYptlva7k/T8aJmrcUzBI/AAAAAAAAMBQ/WbB3-TFJpgM/s512/tv%2520miitti%2520001.JPG

Then mmm105 and Reissari said they have a secret, and we all must trust them. They talked each other something about benji jumping...  :o  :o  :o No no no, I won't do that!!! It's too crazy thing to do!!!

But it wasn't a benji jumping place where we went. I was so relief about that. mmm105 and Reissari were just kidding!  :rolleyes:
We went to see more Finnish people in a great postcard shop, where was a postcrossing meeting there. That was nice!

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-20GtOui-GtU/T8aJmtaXUwI/AAAAAAAAMBM/GBym4b8XkY8/s640/tv%2520miitti%2520010.JPG

Hey mommy!


Today hostmom took me with her to visit a great place.
We went to näkötorni (the viewing tower) to see good views about Jyväskylä city.
And the views were definitely so great! I saw the hole city from there!  B)

The viewing tower is located in the place called Harju (it's like a hill just next to city center).

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-7piVffJU3bA/T8kHap1pvsI/AAAAAAAAMLw/lb9PymDJKz8/s512/002.JPG

There's the city center, and the harbour of Jyväskylä:

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-W3l4bmtl9fw/T8kHoDR6eZI/AAAAAAAAMOg/wOk6pEXHQ7Q/s640/029.JPG

There's the sport stadium of Harju:

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-TLFyYOfsGOA/T8kHottOZeI/AAAAAAAAMOs/dBmTuWhz51o/s640/030.JPG

And if you look very carefully on the horizon of the following picture, you can see the ski jumping place there:

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-K8-V0wSVOW0/T8kHlXa4BNI/AAAAAAAAMOA/UG8t8ciqDkI/s640/023.JPG

There's the house where hostmom is living! Yes, the building inside the red circle. :)

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-8qT389pqcu0/T8kH5SMyMtI/AAAAAAAAMSY/Bd3fxbZLn48/s640/063.JPG

There's Natural History Museum in the same building as the viewing tower is.
So, I visited there, too. :)


The Natural History Museum's website (click) tells that "The Natural History Section serves as a preservation unit for natural scientific research, and displays environmental subjects and research material. It takes care of the living plants of the botanical garden on the campus. It also receives wild animals found dead and prepares scientific samples of them. The section has a collection of over 250 000 samples, the most numerous being invertebrates, plants and moss."

I saw many Finnish animals there.

I saw karhu (a bear). This one was a baby bear.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-c5LsDs0hASg/T8kICMPVvII/AAAAAAAAMUo/BsAavRMOAHY/s512/081.JPG

And there's two swans. A swan ( joutsen ) is the national animal of Finland.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-vBmEj2__ZN8/T8kIEtZ1E7I/AAAAAAAAMU8/ZFsU1HsMInc/s640/087.JPG

Just next to Harju, we all stopped to watch a fountain. :)

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-RywSYZCXTAQ/T8kIGUCHfAI/AAAAAAAAMVY/tQVVfAS_j5k/s610/090.JPG

Hi mommy!


Guess what I have done, mommy?

Well, I tell you some little hints... :)

It has something to do with a tea cup and another frog ToyVoyager JUMP.

Can you guess it already, mom?

YES, I was in a restarant, and I drank a cup of tea with Jump!!! :)
It means, I finally completed this life mission of my own!
I'm super-hyper happy now! I had nice time with Jump.

Jump also wrote something nice to my notebook, so I can remember this moment forever. :D

Hi mommy!


Today is a sad and a happy day.

It's sad, because Mi Nam and Finfin has left from here to travel to their new hosts.

But it's happy, because a new toy BarryO arrived here.

First we all said goodbye to Mi Nam and Finfin.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-pp2nRTx8HaU/T8x9mRrg_DI/AAAAAAAAMdc/uLfRaVucs2A/s640/003.JPG

They went to their envelopes.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-1aIsQxMgeuU/T8x9ml4AXxI/AAAAAAAAMdg/LPcAJmhc0NM/s640/005.JPG

Bye bye, travel safe!!!

:)

Then we met a new toy, a teddy bear named BarryO. He is originally from USA.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-wNVh6YUWxcU/T8x92XvN63I/AAAAAAAAMd4/r_2PGaiBIbw/s640/004.JPG

Then we had a little party!!!  B)
We ate some German sweets, what Sabbel&Jenton has sent to hostmom.

Hi mom!

Last night I was outside walking. I went to see the lake, and I wished to see a beautiful sunset. And I really did see it!!!

There's so typical Finnish things: trees and a lake. :)

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-y0oOMxerGS0/T9I3mBXuDiI/AAAAAAAAMvg/RJUhNds4yZo/s640/ilta%2520020.JPG

I saw there some very pretty flowers.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-d0MdMB8fH0M/T9I3lNWAeOI/AAAAAAAAMvQ/4IFIIHYHUSM/s640/ilta%2520019.JPG

It was a beautiful night. I saw a beautiful sunset, and all those clouds in the sky made it even more pretty and special, I think.

Hello mom!


It was such a lovely day today, we all decided to go to a picnic.

But first have to make some food to take away.

Some carrots...

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-FTNbC7Ormck/T9JUAPqyixI/AAAAAAAAM3g/RVgB2uTKhQY/s640/002.JPG

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-BstVKtbYkfc/T9JUHQavMoI/AAAAAAAAM5k/pqaHYMkM2Qs/s640/019.JPG

...and some grapes, too.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-LT3qISCVdOg/T9JUIoYdn_I/AAAAAAAAM58/MYmA3M_iHdk/s640/021.JPG

Then we all packed the food.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_A4P7jgraTA/T9JUNFP0pqI/AAAAAAAAM7E/dvEZiWlZVJ8/s640/031.JPG

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-mypeyxTufDA/T9JVSZa8E2I/AAAAAAAANGw/cik_YrfDy88/s640/033.JPG

Then it's time to go.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-lUcXGr0MbJM/T9JUOTRc_XI/AAAAAAAAM7Q/Xq6PJSa5To0/s512/034.JPG

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-88twA1cqJYY/T9JUP8slxCI/AAAAAAAAM7c/QXoci6DrG9k/s640/036.JPG

This place seems to be a good place to have a little picnic.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-aGqpiQRH74o/T9JUQJlPmPI/AAAAAAAAM7g/GwYNkxtw-PM/s640/039.JPG

No no no, we changes the place.
This second place is much more better, because we are now just next to lake.  :)

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-5DkO09TH7jY/T9JVSKWxKXI/AAAAAAAANGo/tYtU1ea7-4k/s512/046.JPG

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-tJH4jenCyhk/T9JUSdO4_wI/AAAAAAAAM8A/XFYp4GpwJHM/s640/050.JPG

We spent many hours there. We all just had so much fun!

But then, we decided to go back inside.

Hi mommy!


I cooked today!  :p

I did some "stuffed tomatoes", and it was yummy.

First thing to do is wait untill a frying pan is hot enough...

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-qSgQZl6A6As/T9JUhqO7muI/AAAAAAAAM-0/rb-F7RIpivE/s640/098.JPG

Then it's time to put the meat to the frying pan, and make them brown.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-fQUtpR7LoRw/T9JUtVfi5LI/AAAAAAAANA8/pGcKUNxGwuQ/s640/119.JPG

Then I made some grated cheese.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-wIGvSJYzriA/T9JUqgfz4TI/AAAAAAAANAU/lEgSgbD-qzc/s512/114.JPG

I prepared tomatoes. I covered them with a spoon, and I made tomatoes empty. And those covered tomatoes I put into the bowl.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-3PiB9xLICXc/T9JUzf2IugI/AAAAAAAANCI/iV2hq16Z4xE/s640/130.JPG

Then it's time to make tomatoes full again. :)
I put meat and grated cheese into tomatoes.
Offcourse I used also some spicyes, like oregano...

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-rrX4yAN8eJI/T9JU1yAe-dI/AAAAAAAANC0/zhLYZUy0S2Q/s640/137.JPG

Tomatoes are almost ready. They just need to put into owen, and when the cheese has got some nice colour, they are ready.  :p

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-zvmHq9gAhj0/T9JU7s0lGvI/AAAAAAAANEc/MB_arbCAtaY/s640/148.JPG

Yummy, it's ready!!!  :p (in the picture you can see the stuffed tomato, but also some other vegetables next to it)

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-RwkJqxSEyNc/T9JWP2dQSEI/AAAAAAAANIc/Y3cr_pFmP0E/s640/161.JPG

It was good!

Hello!


Today I watched television. There was very popular program, Moomins. :)

Moomin charachters and stories are popular in Finland, but also almost all over the World. The writer of Moomin stories is Tove Jansson (1914-2001).

Hostmom told me, that there's many many Moomin things here in Finland. First of all, there's the Moominworld in Naantali, the Moomin museum in Tampere, and there's also lots of Moomin products selling in Finland.

Lots of Moomin info you can find through this link.

Hi mommy!

I met today a new ToyVoyager, hostmom's own new TV Kurnau. We all introduced ourselves to him.

Mommy, I did something marvellous today. I plowed, and there were... there were MANY magical bubbles flying in the air!!! Just like that!!! Wow!!!  Can you believe it? :o
Oh, and then happened something unbelievable: those bubbles suddenly didn't exist anymore...  :o  :o  :o

I was so confused... What it was?  :thinking:

Hostmom explained to me that they are soap bubbles. :)
And when they hit something, they exploded.
Ooooh, now I underestand.  :D

Hello mommy!


I went to visit in place called Viherlandia today. It's a place, where are selling lots of different flowers and other plants, and other things needed in gardening. There's also a cafe.

Hostmom went to this place, because there was a postcrossing meeting there. But first, she showed me something really great: two living parrots, Kalle and Torsti!

Here is me and the other parrot.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Ut2m0bRD2ZQ/T94AS1shxdI/AAAAAAAANJQ/bqF0FXz4zs4/s512/045.JPG

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-_02rD3Djweg/T94AWpkt4dI/AAAAAAAANKQ/I4Hu-S-jAno/s640/057.JPG

After meeting parrots, we went to cafe. And because I was very hungry, I ate a panini (a toasted/grilled warm sandwich). It was so good, that others came to eat it, too...

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-M7MJ7aL1UQM/T94AdQwoZuI/AAAAAAAANMA/KZDwqqj2zMU/s512/074.JPG

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-45wIcjtyNzk/T94AcRxn_SI/AAAAAAAANL4/QhgVfKpBHW4/s634/073.JPG

And for dessert, I ate a piece of cheese cake. Yummy!  :p

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_vG0Hw50uA4/T94BIYInS8I/AAAAAAAANTk/5o4v8YIKWJ0/s550/069.JPG

Then I took part in a postcrossing meeting. And guess what?!? There I met two new ToyVoyagers: A teddybear and a horse (they were with another Finnish host Delenna there). :)

Here are we all:

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-4Bsyyn4AxAE/T94AeIv5YWI/AAAAAAAANL8/XqWLOjLLmKE/s512/076.JPG

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-j7VKoABtouc/T94AgAf0WdI/AAAAAAAANMc/Pj0n_5FZ3z8/s512/082.JPG

After the postcrossing meeting, I went to look around. I wanted to see, what kind of place it is.

I found many nice things there.

Hello mom!


It's my turn to say goodbye to everyone, and start travelling again.
I'm happy and sad in the same time. Happy, because it's nice to see new places. Sad, because I'm going to miss everyone here in Finland...

Mo sheep was leaving today, too. We both said goodbye to others.
Then I jumped into my box with my little own notebook.

Germany, here I'm coming!!!

Bye bye all in Finland! I had a great time!

There will be a big event in this family this year: the wedding of one of the sons. Petra is happy, that she is allowed to bake the wedding cake. It will be a cake with strawberries and maybe some marzipan. She still doesn't know the other ingredients, so she has to try some cakes and find out the best version. And of course we are part of this.
Here's the first cake - I can't remember the ingredients anymore, I'm sorry.
