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! 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.
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.
First, I saw some really beautiful butterflies. Some of them were SO BIG sized.
...And some bugs.
...And some cool and BIG sized spiders!
This one was the biggest tarantula in the exhibition.
I'm sorry about the quality of photos, but there were difficult lights for taking photos in that exhibition room.
I saw a real living scorpion, too!
And here are the most beautiful butterflies of the exhibition in closer look:
Love,
Ronja

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,
Ronja

Hi mommy!
I had a fantastic and so funny day today!!!
I visited in the amusement park named Suomen Tivoli!!!
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!
Love,
Ronja

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.
Love,
Ronja

Ski jump place, Jyväskylä, Finland - 16th May 2012
By: mmm105
Hi mommy!
I had a wonderful day! I went to visit exiting place, where I climbed so high, and where could see so awesome landscape views. Can you guess already, where I was? You are going to love these photos mom!!!
Yes, I visited in the ski jump place here in Jyväskylä!!!
Watch very carefully these photos... Can you believe there's still little bit of snow there?
Hihii!!! This is like a BIG slide! Mommy, this is soooooo fun!!!
I wanted to climb up... I wanted to see this place even more better. And I wanted to see the view up there...
So, I climbed up. It was hard work, but I managed it.
Sooooo long stairs!!!
But as I was thinking the view... Wow! So beautiful!
On the way back, I saw some great things.
I saw this mysterious tunnel. What might be in the other side of the tunnel? Hmmmm...
...There's even more forest, offcourse!
I saw also the small stream. Look, how pretty it is!
And I saw the beautiful butterfly, too.
It was just pity, that the butterfly flew away before I managed to be in the same picture...
Love,
Ronja

Jyväsjärvi, Jyväskylä, Finland - 17th May 2012
By: mmm105
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! Cool!
Look how nice little basket hostmom put in her bicycle. We all toys travelled in it.
And here we go! Oh, mommy, I can already see the lake! Can you?
From there we just came...
And there you can see the lake, a street for cars and a railway, too.
Now we are even more close to the lake Jyväsjärvi.
The city center is so close the lake.
Now we are in the lake Jyväsjärvi. And we are going to cycle all around the hole lake!
The views from the harbour.
Look! The flags of many different countries!
There is Kuokkala, the one part of the Jyväskylä city.
And this is the bridge of Kuokkala.
Going forward.
The bridge of Kuokkala even one more time.
Hostmom took so many photos...
And again the bridge of Kuokkala...
C'moon hostmom, please stop taking pictures, and continue cycling.
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)).
Oh my... even one more photo of the bridge of Kuokkala!
YES, keep going hostmom...
Ok, I have to admit, that this view is quite nice (there's the bridge of Kuokkala again in the picture, hih).
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.
There's Lutakko.
And there's Kuokkala.
And there are both: Kuokkala and Lutakko.
Look mom! Can you see that small castle just in front?
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!!!
Now we are in the bridge named Äijälänsilta. Look, there's two men canoeing there! Can you see them?
This is Äijälänsilta.
And now our little journey continues.
There's city center... So so far!!!
Isn't this view nice? There's many birches, very typical tree in Finland.
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.
There's the harbour and the city center and Lutakko.
Look, there's two wild ducks swimming (yes, those two small black spots in the lake)
And the journey continues. Look how green there is.
On the left side, there's trees.
And on the right side, there's the lake.
This bridge called as Mattilanniemen silta (a bridge of Mattilanniemi).
And we keep going...
...and keep going...
A cute small bridge.
Now we have cycled around the hole lake!
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!
It was nice!
Love,
Ronja
