Amazing weekend with my Kuumi family in Kuusamo!

This weekend I had a wonderful weekend away in Kuusamo with my kummi family at their cabin. Milla taught me how to ski on Saturday...my first time and i LOVED it!! I think i'm hooked, something i plan to do again in the near future (i hope!)...one more reason to come back to Finland;) We ended up skiing for almost 4 hrs, first we started on the kiddies slope for our beginners practice, but soon Elissa and I had gotten the hang of it and was "promoted" to the normal proper slope. To be honest, when i first looked down the proper slope, my heart gave a skip as i thought i would never be able to ski down...but i took it slow in the beginning and found it not that bad and for the next 3hrs we skied non-stop!

Me, looking a it worried when i saw the much steeper slope ahead of me...yikes!

When we arrived back to the cabin we made some pancakes on the open fire...Finnish style...YUM!
We also went for two walks, one on Friday and one on Sunday...we were lucky to have wonderful sunny weather with the occasional fall of snow and a few drops of rain!









The view at the lake...beautiful!
