Hiekkasärkät , Kalajoki, Finland

We left at ten in the morning to spend a summer trip at the spa and water park at the Kalajoki. Its about an hours drive away from our town. When we arrived there, we didn`t get our room immediately, we had to wait an hour. There was a room by the reception and we left our luggage`s there and we went to the beach, eating and just walking around there.



We walked at there where was the kids traffic park. Kasmir was allowed to drive half and hour (because that was the driving time, costs 6€) a pedal car and a small ABC- truck.





We walked around the beach and it was still warm even whit the wind. There is a wooden "road" that you can walk even with the prams. Its really refreshing to breathe the sea air.










We ate hamburgers and went to the shop got something to drink before we left to the kids traffic park and beach. 

About 2`o clock we got back to the hotel to check in and take our stuff to the hotel room. The room had sea view and it was nice to look in the night. I don`t always fall asleep to see the sea and the lighthouse shining somewhere. 





 Sunset on friday evening :)


we went eating at the ABC when we had left our bags to the hotel room. I love pizza and hamburgers and we propably ate hundred of them on our trip, but now i wasnt on that mood to want greasy food. There were lighter option, and i was absolutely happy. I took sprouts, carrots and cauliflowers. I also took 2 soya steaks. Food was so delicious <3 When Kasmir had eaten his hamburger, he went playing on the playground.



When we got back to the hotel. we left whole group at the spa. It was Nicks first time at the spa. Niki loves a lot of water. And there was so warm at the spa that he really likes his time in there with mum. Others were lowering at the water slide. 

I had not used the swimsuit for years, always a bikini, but for this trip i bought a new swimsuit (and new bikinis :D!) 


At the spa and swimming baths its brilliant to take a baby carrier, so it `s much more easier to change clothes and take a shower before going to the spa. 

Two hours went by quickly, and then the spa also closed. Straight to the spa we went to get some food and Subway was only one still open. We ordered breads and went out to eat. There is a pirate ship in the hotel yard where Kasmir was playing long before we wen to the hotel room to sleep. 


Niki woke up five in the morning, he never wake up so early, but he must be excited when he was in a strange place. Half past seven we went out together with him and walk in the woods and on the beach.
 




We were out for a couple of hours and when we got back to the hotel we went straight to the breakfast. The breakfasts at the hotel are incredible. Porridge, berries, natural yoghurt, apple cinnamone mysli, firstborn had cereal, little buns and cookies. There were fun little pancakes. I am interesting at baeing, and i wonder how are they made. they tasted like small pancakes but were small balls. :D 


When we had eat breakfast we went to the spa and we swam there for couple of hours. After the spa trip the whole group went to Jukupark. We didn`t have to walk very long because the Jukupark is right next to the hotel. Unfortunately, there were not many hot days in this summer. Even now the weather was very windy, so we wonder that the day will get cold in the water park. But when we had pay our tickets and entered at the park, we noticed that there was warm.






There was a circular car that went back and forth, but Kasmir did not dare to came there with me, so we adults went to drive with it. We also glide the water slide. Kasmir enjoyed his time in the park and squaked in the water. There were bounce places were Kasmir jumped and water guns that were supposed to shoot the soccer balls on the finish line. That was pretty difficult to me. :D But i get every ball on their own places. Niki  slept almost all the time. For a while, he was awake and hanging with me at the benches.









Our last hour before closing time we spent to play minigolf. Then we got to eat some pizza at the new mall. 

At saturday morning , we planned to go swimming on morning, but we noticed that the spa wasn`t
open on weekend mornings, only wednesday to friday.
 We went walking at the hotel yard, and then we bought hot chocolate and coffee at the reception. We sat in the lounge chairs to drink them. We went to the indoor playground about half an hour to play, before we went to the breakfast.












All four of us went to get breakfast (except Niki, he ate his own food at the playground before us) . I repeat myself, but. I love hotel breakfasts. <3

12 at noon we give our hotel keys back to the reception and our room supposed to be empty then. Before that, i slept little nap. Theres a Meriluontokeskus, at the hotel SaniFani. Its a museum about marine nature, plants living now and in the past. The exhibition was on three floors. It was free entry. There was an elevator to get from floor to floor. I was having a trouble wit the button at first. Cause it had to be pressed continuoysly while moving from floor to other.

Our last day we spent in the Camping area. We ate delicious food and enjoyed the warm day. Luckily there was so warm days. There were restaurant at the end of the Camping area, and there was bouncing castle and slide to children`s. There are also Adventure park Pakka, were Kasmir jumped about 5 minutes on a giant trampoline. 










Our trip was so nice and its deffinately worth experiencing. Trip is often remembered afterwards. I didnt notice how the sun was shining during the day because of the wind. The tan became completely unnoticeable. Always remember lotions to protect your skin not to burn unnecessarily. Before our bus had even  left back to Kokkola, we  talked that we would come here for a second time.
