An unforgettable day

Every day we live a different journey, this morning it's snowing. Nanna came for us and we head to Ähtäri Zoo. A spectacular landscape welcomes us, tall firs, and snow on both sides of the road. We arrive at our destination, meet up with other parents, and the kids. First visit, the pandas. Next, we walked through the forest while spotting owls, lynxes, reindeer, moose, among other animals. We can't forget our lunch break, where the parents prepared hot dogs, sandwiches with reindeer meat, coffee, chocolate, and sweets for everyone. We finish the tour by making snowmen. On the way back, Nanna's parents invited us to dinner with them, along with Paola. A heartfelt evening where we talked about their experiences, their daily life, cooking recipes, etc. Unique moments that we won't forget. The kindness and hospitality we encountered have left us with unique experiences.
