winter fun

a couple of pics from last weekend when the boys and I spent a great day in my family's cottage with granddad and grandma.

Kinda weird, but whereas rest of the southern finland has very little ice, the lake at our cottage has ice solid enough to carry a car. One of the neighbors keeps the ice road clear throughout the wintertime, and all the cottage in the island have a private parking right in place of the jetty in summertime.

Next week the weather is forecast to get a seriously warmer, so the road's not going to be open a lot longer. It sounds like a good idea to keep an eye on the forecasts before parking a car there for a long weekend. Or else, you might end up having to buy another car for the summer.
