Shrove Sunday

I know it is almost a month since it was Shrove Sunday (22:nd February) but I thought I would write about it anyway.

In Finland it is tradition to go sledging on shrove sunday, or shrove tuesday for that matter. Afterwards you eat peasoup;



and these yammi things for dessert, called laskiaispulla or fastlagsbulle in swedish;

We also decided to go sledging and we ate the laskiaispulla and some hot choclate to warm up but afterwars we decided to go for pizza. (Tip; To make the warm choclate warm you up faster you can add some mint liqueur or baileys ;-) )




It was a bit crowded in the hill with all the kids so you had to be careful not to crash into someone...also the cameraman was in danger :-P




After trying out the little hill for some time it was time for the big and scary one.

Little hill;

Big Hill;


First Cia and Stefan tried it out;





Then it was time for me and Nalle to take the challange. It was impossible to see anything going down cause you got a lot of snow in the face and my back was hurting a lot afterwards.





But you have to try out everything once in your life ;-)

To continue on the subject of skiing and winterssports. We also went to do some slalom with stefan some weeks ago. Mostly to train our skills for Easter. We will go to Kuusamo and Ruka in north of Finland to skii in some better slopes:-P Hopefully we will also have time to visit the indoor waterpark in Kuusamo.
