Saturday morning my niece was still feeling a bit sick so I popped in a store to buy something that she could eat. The chips my dad bought helped with getting my niece to eat. She watched Youtube videos and accidentally ate half can of chips. From there it was just waiting few minutes (10-15 mins) and then pushing something else for her to eat. In few hours she was quite all right. My dad came around and we decided to go to the harbor as the weather was great. There was a sand castle there, but unfortunately it opened on Sunday. So we ventured to a playground next to the harbor. We did not stay too long as my niece was still a bit out of power.
Sunday started with very energetic child and very sleepy aunt. Once we got moving, we went to the sand castle with a friend of mine and her family. The rides were free, as it was the opening day (there was only two rides for the kids). After a quick lunch we went to visit my aunt and see if the farm was still up. One of the least favorite things of the trip. Due to some miscommunication or rather discommunication between my grandpa and aunt, he did not know that we were coming. All I had to hear from my aunt was that my grandpa is a drunk and no good. I did not enjoy the stay. My niece luckily did not hear this and had better time. We ended the day at my friends place in Koria.
Monday was a busy day. My niece and friend's child spent the morning together and then we went to Tykkimäki. I was warned that he might not like the rides, but it would be good for him to go. I knew that my niece would like to have company on the rides so I took the bracelet for the rides for him anyway. The gamble payed off as he went on 12 rides and she went on 18 rides. My niece did have a little accident when she ran towards a vertical pole (she thought she was shorter and could run underneath it) and hit her nose. She got a drip of blood from the nose which actually was the most terrifying thing for her. Luckily it all was forgotten quickly. We got some BBQ in the evening to end the perfect day. My friend was happily surprised by how his son had enjoyed the day.
On Tuesday we went shopping to Lahti before ending the day in Orimattila where my brother lives. The day ended with BBQ as well. As other niece was in her summer travels there were only other nephew at home to play with my niece. (My brother and sister in law were there as well.) On Wednesday we spent a home day and went around playgrounds with my niece and other nephew. It was really nice to take a day easier, and not have to run around everywhere. On Thursday morning we left Orimattila and headed to Riihimäki. There we did a pit stop at my cousins place and I collected a parking ticket. Everyone else were more concerned about it than me. It was my first ever parking ticket :) Also it was 40 euros so it was not that bad. Then we went to see my other aunt and spent the night in Tervakoski.
Friday was our driving back day, and that what I did the whole day. I drove and drove and drove. We did have a few stops, but the last 3,5 hours we drove straight home (my niece wished it so). This was the end of the summer trip 1. Oh boy was I tired after this 12 day vaycay.
