Summer albums 3: Summer cottage in Ruovesi

During the summer we also visited another summer cottage in Ruovesi (ルオヴェシ).
This summer cottage used to belong to Kauppi's grandparents from his father's side. Nowadays, Kauppi's father and his siblings share the cottage on a time share basis, which means that each sibling can go there for 2 weeks in a summer. There's plenty of room, so the cottage easily accommodates 15 people or so. This year, we were there together with Kauppi's father Allu, brother Arni and sister Jenni and their families.

The cottage is located on a spit by a small lake. It's a very, very beautiful place!

Here's the sunset on the lake (with some swimmers):

Smaller kids enjoyed the shallow shore:

There's a nice little sauna on the shore:

Eating together is definitively one of highlights of the vacation:

Poor Lina got stung by some insect and got some kind of an allergic reaction:

Just sitting still for a while: ;)
