Disney On Ice 2019

On February 2019. ~
Helsinki, Finland.
Disney On Ice- show.
Hartwall Arena.

February 2019, we were with my son Kasmir at Helsinki, Hartwall Arena. There were Disney On Ice - show. Our adventure was a gift to him, because he had his 5 year-old- birthday on that month.

Our train leaves a little before 8 `o` clock to Helsinki. When we were arrived to Helsinki we went ice skating, at  Jääpuisto. Helsinki is absolutely exciting city, and my son thinks that too.

 He has begun to practice ice ckating. And im very proud of him, beacause he was about to give up already, but then he went back to the ice and tried again. 

 Next morning we went with our friend to look at the new library Oodi. It has been opened at the December 2018. I have always loved libraries of any size and shape.

It was beautiful, inside and out.  There were an ice sculpture in front of the library. We drank coffee and ate chocolate  in the library cafe.

In the evening we went to the Hartwall Arena and there were Disney On Ice - show, that started half past six. We came early so we waited for some time before we got inside. Before the show, we went around the Arena and Kasmir ate pizza.

Pasila, Finland, February 2018.

Kasmir liked the ice show very much, and i think it was magical. Was deffinately worth coming.  

When the show was over we went to  the grocery shopping to get some evening snack.

 Next morning, at sunday 10.2. we woke up  and ate breakfast, then we went to spend our last day in Helsinki. The weather was very grey and bad all the time on that weekend, but luckily, there wasn`t very cold. 

 I wanted to show Helsinki Cathedral and Senate Square to my son. But he thinks that snow balls and water puddles are much more interesting than church. :D But it became interested and he went to see it closer.  And i take couple of pictures of him. Of course. The statue of Aleksanteri II was more interesting and he wanted me to take pictures of him next to the statue.

Before our train leaves back we went to the Helsinki City Museum and we really enjoyed our time there. There were plenty of different shows. So much to see and do. For example, There were old bar. And there were a school And Kasmir was playing a teacher there but also got to write a booklet and be a student.

Our train leaves after six and before we got there, we went to eat hamburgers and french fries at the train station. Our trip was very nice and we had so much fun. Lot to remember for a long time. :)

Coca-Cola and Christmas Shopping

At December 2018 Kasmir got to see a Christmas truck, at the Keskinen store, Tuuri, Finland. The event was free, and you get free coca-cola from the truck. Kasmir was photographed front of the truck and the picture turned at the postcard and the image could later be downloaded from the web.

Keskinen at Tuuri Finland, is a place that you want to go back shopping again and again. Even if you had been there many times before. There so much to see and it`s not feels like its a basic visit to grocery store when you go there. And for the christmas season there is a white winter magic land that glows blue.

We left there by train at the morning. The train journey does not take long, couple of hours. in Seinäjoki you have to change to another train. The second train journey takes about 40 minutes. Train stops right next to a Keskinen. My sister and his boyfriend came to pick us by car.

Kasmir didn`t want to walk. :D

Not so interested at shopping. :D
