I know it sounds crazy but...

...I'm not ready for winter to be over yet!

Isn't that just the craziest thing you've ever heard?

I feel like there is so much more to experience in Finland in winter. We didn't get to take a dog sled ride. We haven't gone show shoeing. We'd love to get back to the tubing place. Joey wants to ski more. Lily wants to skate more. (Sam? Well summer can't come fast enough for Sam!)

(This is Lily on probably our last day of skating on groomed ice. The rink at the railway station closes this weekend :( ).

I'm not ready for quiet walks in the snow to be over...

bridge in winter


I'll miss our excursions to the best sledding hill...

Climbing to a good hill


Lots of Finns have told me that winter is definitely NOT over. And I get that. Really I do. After all, I'm from Chicago. We can get major snowstorms that dump a foot of snow on us in March.

Hurray


But you can't deny that April is just around the corner and soon it's time to say goodbye to winter in Finland.
