Hello!

I had a w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l day! 

Guess what I did... I was in a TOYVOYAGER MEETING!!!
Just great!!! I met sooooooo many new ToyVoyagers, and we had so much fun!


Here are we all toys together in Kirkkopuisto (a church park).
Our hosts and moms mmm105 and Reissari from Finland, and RikeH from Germany has organized this meeting, thanks for them!





Then mmm105 and Reissari said they have a secret, and we all must trust them. They talked each other something about benji jumping...      No no no, I won't do that!!! It's too crazy thing to do!!!

But it wasn't a benji jumping place where we went. I was so relief about that. mmm105 and Reissari were just kidding! 
We went to see more Finnish people in a great postcard shop, where was a postcrossing meeting there. That was nice!



Look! Isn't the postcard shop amazing?     
Have you got a feeling, that you have to buy something?



After that we went to the restaurant and I ate pizza, yummy. 



Then was time to go "home", to mmm105's place.
There we said welcome to a new TV TobiHH, who came to visit mmm105.



After a long and exiting day, I was quite tired, so I went to sleep...

ZZZzzzzZZZ zzzzz ZZZZZZ  zzzzz  ZzZzZzZ zzZZZZz ZZZ zzzz

Hey mommy!


Today hostmom took me with her to visit a great place.
We went to näkötorni (the viewing tower) to see good views about Jyväskylä city.
And the views were definitely so great! I saw the hole city from there! 

The viewing tower is located in the place called Harju (it's like a hill just next to city center).



There's the city center, and the harbour of Jyväskylä:



There's the sport stadium of Harju:





There's the house where hostmom is living! Yes, the building inside the red circle.



There's Natural History Museum in the same building as the viewing tower is.
So, I visited there, too.

The Natural History Museum's website (click) tells that "The Natural History Section serves as a preservation unit for natural scientific research, and displays environmental subjects and research material. It takes care of the living plants of the botanical garden on the campus. It also receives wild animals found dead and prepares scientific samples of them. The section has a collection of over 250 000 samples, the most numerous being invertebrates, plants and moss."

I saw many Finnish animals there.

I saw hirvi (a moose). It is the biggest animal living in Finland.



And I saw karhu (a bear). This one was a baby bear.



And there's two swans. A swan ( joutsen ) is the national animal of Finland.



Just next to Harju, we all stopped to watch a fountain.





And by walking in the city center I saw this little detail on the wall of one building.
Looks cool!

Hi mommy!


Today is a sad and a happy day.

It's sad, because Mi Nam and Finfin has left from here to travel to their new hosts.

But it's happy, because a new toy BarryO arrived here.

First we all said goodbye to Mi Nam and Finfin.



They went to their envelopes.



Bye bye, travel safe!!!



Then we met a new toy, a teddy bear named BarryO. He is originally from USA.



Then we had a little party!!! 
We ate some German sweets, what Sabbel&Jenton has sent to hostmom.

Hi mom!


Today we spend a girly quality time, because we all girls; hostmom, me, PinkLady and Ronja were shopping!!! 

All boys stayed 'home', hihiii...

This shopping was our special time together. 

We went to city center of this town, and we visited in many shops.
We saw also some men from foreign country, who were there playing a music.
We also met an ice cream teddy named Ingman (so funny name)!!!

Hih, and we bought many things, mostly some summer clothes to our hostmom...

Hi mommy!


In the late afternoon hostmom said we will go somewhere special place.
I was so exited about it.

Here I am, walking outside.





I saw some beautiful tiny flowers.



And I found also the plowing-flower. I plowed it... It was really fun!



And then we arrived. There's the best postcard shop in this town: Harjun Paperi.
We went there.



There was a postcrossing meeting there! And look, there were some other toys, too.





I wrote a postcard to you, mom!!! 



And I helped mailing them. I dropped postcards to the mailing box.



On the way back 'home' I saw a tiny ladybug.



It was a nice day!
Mommy, keep on eye to your mailbox!

Hi mom!


I helped hostmom to go to the shop buy some food and other things what need in every-day-life. We went to the shop named Prisma.



Inside I met some other cute toys.





I also tried to put on a SUOMI shirt, but it was "only little bit" big for me. Shame!
By the way, the lion in the shirt is the coat of arms of Finland.



But this house is not too big for me. I asked hostmom if I could have it, but she said it would be too difficult to mail forward from host to other host... So, I only visited inside the house, and then we continued shopping.



Then I saw such a funny thing: some hens up there! (well, they aren't living ones... so, don't worry about them, mommy)



And then was time to go back. B.o.B., BarryO, Wayne and Mo were there, too.

Hi mommy!


Last night happened something really awesome thing. 

I got another life mission completed!!! Wow! I was watching the sunset on the beach! 

I'm soooo happy! 

Mommy, look these BEAUTIFUL pictures!

This is so typical in Finland: trees and a lake.



I saw this pretty flower there. And it smelled very nice.



Sunset is coming closer! Just have to wait little more...
Mommy, can you see a bird flying in the sky?











Isn't this so funny? There's the dark side and the light side!!! Cool!



Hih, I'm in the dark side now!



...And now I'm in the light side!



I really like the colours of a sunset!





















Look mommy, I'm really sitting on the beach and see the sunset!!!





Soooo beautiful!!!

Hello mom!


It was such a lovely day today, we all decided to go to a picnic.

But first have to make some food to take away.

Some carrots...





...and some grapes, too.



Then we all packed the food.







Then it's time to go.





This place seems to be a good place to have a little picnic.



No no no, we changes the place.
This second place is much more better, because we are now just next to lake. 





It was so nice just to relax there with good company! 





We spent many hours there. We all just had so much fun!

But then, we decided to go back inside.

Hi mommy!


I cooked today! 

I did some "stuffed tomatoes", and it was yummy.

First thing to do is wait untill a frying pan is hot enough...



Then it's time to put the meat to the frying pan, and make them brown.



Then I made some grated cheese.



I prepared tomatoes. I covered them with a spoon, and I made tomatoes empty. And those covered tomatoes I put into the bowl.



Then it's time to make tomatoes full again.
I put meat and grated cheese into tomatoes.
Offcourse I used also some spicyes, like oregano...



Tomatoes are almost ready. They just need to put into owen, and when the cheese has got some nice colour, they are ready. 



Yummy, it's ready!!!  (in the picture you can see the stuffed tomato, but also some other vegetables next to it)



It was good!

Hello!


Today I watched television. There was very popular program, Moomins.

Moomin charachters and stories are popular in Finland, but also almost all over the World. The writer of Moomin stories is Tove Jansson (1914-2001).

Hostmom told me, that there's many many Moomin things here in Finland. First of all, there's the Moominworld in Naantali, the Moomin museum in Tampere, and there's also lots of Moomin products selling in Finland.

Lots of Moomin info you can find through this link.

Hi mommy!

I met today a new ToyVoyager, hostmom's own new TV Kurnau. We all introduced ourselves to him.

Mommy, I did something marvellous today. I plowed, and there were... there were MANY magical bubbles flying in the air!!! Just like that!!! Wow!!!  Can you believe it?
Oh, and then happened something unbelievable: those bubbles suddenly didn't exist anymore...     

I was so confused... What it was? 

Hostmom explained to me that they are soap bubbles.
And when they hit something, they exploded.
Ooooh, now I underestand.

Hello mommy!


I went to visit in place called Viherlandia today. It's a place, where are selling lots of different flowers and other plants, and other things needed in gardening. There's also a cafe.

Hostmom went to this place, because there was a postcrossing meeting there. But first, she showed me something really great: two living parrots, Kalle and Torsti!

Here is me and the other parrot.





After meeting parrots, we went to cafe. And because I was very hungry, I ate a panini (a toasted/grilled warm sandwich). It was so good, that others came to eat it, too...





And for dessert, I ate a piece of cheese cake. Yummy! 



Then I took part in a postcrossing meeting. And guess what?!? There I met two new ToyVoyagers: A teddybear and a horse (they were with another Finnish host Delenna there).

Here are we all:





Postcrossers are so crazy, they allways write so MANY postcards!!!



After the postcrossing meeting, I went to look around. I wanted to see, what kind of place it is.

I found many nice things there.











We were riding a bike there!!! Yippee!!! 







And we saw the flowers were riding a bikes, too!!!   
hih 





I met some gnomes, too. They were very funny! 



The next picture is the last (but not least) photo today.

Some hearts for you, mommy!  <3



I had a nice day!
