Weekend Fun in the Sun


Stilts anyone? Kamryn, Kodie, and Nick give it a go


Even Kaylin got in on the action


One of my favorite signs I've seen in Finland thus far--- these signs are actually necessary throughout the country--- where people just seem to pee whenever and wherever they get the urge!


Brother and sister having some fun in the sand


We even caught some fish by hand in the shallow waters of the Baltic


Boats and jet skis were a common sight along the shores of Yyteri


Large crowds gathered round for the beach football matches




Just a beautiful day to be at the beach


Doing the tango in the streets--- As Al Pacino would say in the movie "Scent of a Woman"--- HOOwaaah!


These fried fish or "muikkua" were selling like hotcakes--- so we decided to try some--- they tasted like ...... chicken! (ok, not really)


yummy yummy


City Square in full swing during 2010 summer Tango Festival



Hope you enjoyed the pics from the Tango festival in Seinajoki last weekend and our day trip out to Yyteri Beach in Pori, Finland.

This has been a busy week here in Seinajoki. We are getting ready to play the Jaguars and our other coach (def. coordinator) Eero Martinmaki is on holiday with his family. I have been busy with some extra duties on special teams and running the defense while Eero is away. I have definitely felt stretched as a coach this past week and I'm hopeful that we will play well tomorrow. We are shooting for our fourth straight win.

We are also enjoying having some guests from England here in Seinajoki. Our friends Nick and Vickie are visiting us for three days. We have been showing them around the city and hanging out at the beach. They will be here to watch the game tomorrow and then head back to Helsinki on Sunday for their flights back to the UK. We only get to see them about every 2-3 years, so it is a real treat to get to spend some time together.
