Missä on lumi?

As fast as the snow came it went but...it's coming back tomorrow. Or so the weather forecast says. Just in time for the Shenton family to arrive from Australia! YAH!

We visited the fire service open day and K took along Lego fire chief to check it's authenticity. It had all the right kit the palomies said. 

E scored a fireman's fireperson's hat too. 

Candy day down by the Aurajoki. Hoping this will look a little brighter and less grey next week. 

E racing to keep up with K. If the snow does come this will be the last bike ride until next spring!

Prison, Art

Just as quickly as it came, the snow left. So we're back to wet days and dark nights, but that means there's puddles to splash in anyway! We had an awesome weekend with D and Niki over from Riihimäki for the weekend. We had a wander around Kakola, an abandoned prison on the top of a hill, right in the middle of Turku. It's just about to be redeveloped as apartments and offices as it's in such a prime spot. Then on Sunday morning we headed to "Kui'?" at the Wäinö Aaltonen Museum of Art. They have an awesome kid's art activity room, so all the kids had a great time making pictures and masks.
