Mummi and Pappa's

We went to Logan for an overnighter at Mikko's parents. Mummi and Pappa is what you call grandparents in Finnish. Kaleb had a great time and I am glad we were able to go visit. Above Kaleb just got out of the sauna, see the red cheeks. Sauna is a very traditional thing. Almost every house and apartment in Finland will have their own sauna and they visit it weekly. So it is natural that Mikko's parents built a sauna in their home. When we visit we like to get in to relax and sweat, it is nice.
Mummi and Pappa have a huge tree in their front yard that deposits a ton of leaves every fall. Kaleb had a good time playing in the leaves. Mikko was photographer and he was trying to get some action shots and these dang digital cameras take to long to snap the picture so sorry they are a little fuzzy.
He had a great time as you can see.





Wish I knew what he was thinking right there looks like a cross of relaxing and fear. Thanks to Mummi and Pappa for letting us come visit and for all the good food they fed us while there and watching Kaleb for us so we could take a visit to the temple!

Cute pictures of Kaleb in the leaves, what fun:) I also like his self portrait, how cute. But I must say that the best pictures are the ones from the 80's Prom! That is too funny that you all did that! It looked like a lot of fun. I'm pretty sure when I was little I thought your dress was really pretty and probably wanted one just like it:) Funny how things change.

Kaleb laid down in the leaves, but his hat was on his way so he took it off and tried again. Then it felt weird to him sinse the leaves were kind of hard. He really had fun playing in the leaves!
