SANDCASTLES AND SWIMMING

We made our traditional trip to Lappeenranta harbor to see this years sand castles. The theme was "kalevala", Finnish folklore.
It was a hot day so we needed to cool down with some ice cream and swimming in the local public beach.  There is a place to jump in the water. You can choose 10 meter or 5 meter. Niko and Jason were the only ones brave enough for 10 meter (little more than 30 ft.). Maija and Markus jumped down from 5 meter. (Kai went shopping with his uncle).
Of course for lunch we had to have the Lappeenranta's specialty, VETY and ATOMI. You can only get it in Lappeenranta.  


Which ice cream should i get?

Jason on the top...wondering...


Maija coming down from 5 meter



Niko coming down from 5 meter. Earlier he jumped doen from 10, and told us that he really felt during his fall down, that this is it.  The world, or at least his...is coming to an end.
