Moomins ahoy!

On the morning of August 15th the girls and I hopped in the car and drove to the west coast to Naantali.
There we met up with my bro's family and headed towards the day's destination:
Moominworld.

Good morning Moominpapa!
It is indeed a gorgeous day.
The sky matches your house perfectly today :D



Julia wasn't all that sure about these big furry fellows..


Niina however was on cloud nine. She doesn't remember her previous visit here, she was only six months old at the time..

Is there a better start to a day that getting a hug from Moomintroll?
Probably not.

Hi Little My!
(she's loud that one)

Bunting..ahhh.. is it wrong to want bunting in my kitchen too?

Snorkmaiden's room..so girly.

Just like this one.

She borrowed a rose from the table.

The view from the second floor window is beautiful.

Moominpapa's little study.

There's a little hole in the wall and this is what you can see inside...

This looks just as pretty as the bunting.

Niina gets a hug from Moominmama as well.

Moomintroll has just given the world's biggest diamond he found to Snorkmaiden. When she plans to make it into a wedding ring, Moomintroll gets a serious case of cold feet and runs away.. :D

Still not sold on these...

This kills me...

(siivoa= clean it up)

At the shore.

Taking a look at the sea monster.

We then headed towards Moominpapa's ship and I forgot to take a photo of it as Julia grabbed my hand and lead me away..

Curious things...

Sliding was a big hit.

The local police station..


..and jail..

I really love how this place differs from other theme parks. It's about the nature. Everything is hidden inside the forest, no rides.. just surprises around the corner.

We love labyrinths!

Hattifattener territory..

Family photo LOL!

One more favorite: Sniff.

It was a good day.

Afterwards we walked into town and met up with local friends.
Plans were laid for a fun weekend next summer, can't wait for that :)

Even the sunset that night was wow material...
