Uiva 2012 Boat-Afloat Show

Last weekend we visited Uiva 2012, Finland's biggest Boat-Afloat show at HSK yacht club marina in Lauttasaari, Helsinki. There were about 300 boats or yachts and a bunch of  boating equipment to see. The boat show is quite popular, according to their website "Helsinki Boat-Afloat show 2011 had a total of 14,340 visitors." We were there in 2011 as well and the little man had such a good time we went this year as well. My brother got us tickets, since he works for a yacht manufacturer. I like to go back to Lauttasaari now and then, since I spent the first few years of my life there :)

The boat show started on Thursday and I think they had excellent weather then, but when we visited on Sunday, it was a bit gloomy.

More boats!

There were a bunch of tents, a couple of cafeterias etc. Little man enjoyed trying out the inflatable boats the most!

But this was the highlight of his trip! Steering wheel and a bunch of buttons to push :)

Gloomy sky and gorgeous boats.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!

Finnish summer, how I will miss thee!

I'm done with the two exams I had and I think I passed them both! Now I can focus on what's important again - blogging :)

The other weekend was the Uiva - outdoor boat show in Helsinki. It was a really nice weekend, the sun was shining and it was pleasantly warm. I'm trying to enjoy every last day of summer, since I know the fall is just behind the corner. In fact, I just checked the weather forecast for next week and it's rain,rain and more rain :( Here are a couple of sunny photos from the boat show. Our lil man really loved it!

This weekend was pretty good sunny as well, we briefly visited the Art night in Helsinki (it was crowded) and did some more wedding planning. I'm really excited about the idea of a silver wedding dress :)

Hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday! <3 br="br">
