Hey!
Goblet of Fire to my boys.I bet @MarkkuJantunen is going to post some photos from our trip to Messilä too, so here's mine. I'm trying to post this before reading
Markku called me earlier today and asked if we could take the kids snow sledding or something. So we did.
Here's Miro going down the hill.
Animation
When the kids had enough of sledding, we went to the ski resort restaurant/coffeeshop/bar and had some cocoa and sweet pastries. The kids grew kind of tired of me and Markku discussing about Steem and business, and especially Steem business, so we decided to leave take the kids to our place and let them play some PlayStation while Markku and I played a game of Go.
I won by a four points, although losing a sizable group in mid-game. In the end Markku even congratulated me for finally starting to see when to sacrifice and where to find points to recoup the apparent losses.
Ok, I'll go and read some Harry Potter to my boys now. :) See ya!

If you liked the post, consider buying me a beer:
very beautiful photos...it seems that miro did a lot of fun in the snow...and you created a gif of miro's sliding from hill.
It seems like you all enjoyed there! Specially I like the photography #1! It's pretty amazing scenery!@gamer00,
Cheers~
It looks very funny and Miro's face confirms it
XD
Here in Venezuela we do not have snow (at least where I have lived) but we did something similar using a large cardboard box, and the slope more or less steep
It's some sort of stereotype for me that @MarkkuJantunen posts about manors often :D I have seen many manor posts (not complaining though).
They tend to provide many great photo opportunities.
Absolutely.
Maybe one day you will get rich thanks to steemit and buy me one (Or Lambo at least)!
I'll appppreciate it a lot :D
The animation looked like Miro was sledding on a high speed.
Am sure it was fun for the kids.
Seems like you all enjoyed your time at Messilä. The younger boy seems fearless.
Miro is pretty fearless. Although he did get a bit upset when he heard today that our Milkyway is going to crash into the Andromeda galaxy in about 3.75 billion years and broke into tears.
This video does appear to indicate that the collision wouldn't destroy our solar system.
Was he scared or was he sad? He has no reason to be scared of the event, but I can understand being saddened by it, such a massive event that will change the look of the sky, potentially destroy the solar system we call home, (I'm less optimistic than your video,) and the fact we probably won't be around to see it?
It makes me sad at least.
A seven-year-old is not likely to understand the timescales involved.
Likely? No. But its certainly possible, and I do not know the child, so I can not make an assumption.
Heh, I think he needs to be explained how just long a period of time 3.75 billion years is. He knows division and multiplication? You could try to explain it to him using a comparison of a ratio of distances anyone can understand. For example, the the 1000 km or so distance to your relatives in Lapland is about one billion millimetres. An insect lover, I'm sure Miro knows many insects that are about one millimetre in size. You could tell him that one billion is such a large number that you must have a billion of those 1 mm sized insects to form a line from your home to Lapland.
He's 'fast and furious' that's why he thinks 3.75 billion years will pass soon. :D
Damn that looks like fun. It's always exciting and refreshing when you go out in nature. Everything is unpredictable. And yes posting picture is not just a challenge but it's a way we provide value and support to our community on steem. And Loved your pictures man.
Thanks, it was pretty fun. :)
How could Markku have lost! Nooooo, I want a rematch!
We underestimated your incredible power! Next time we will be prepared!!
There is a handicap system in go. Jaro is 7 kyu and I'm 3 dan so I normally give him a nine stone handicap. If the handicap is right, the winning probability of either player should be 50 percent. Jaro has been on a winning streak lately. Markus, 1 kyu, whose skills are perhaps at a strong 1 dan level, started a game against Jaro the other day, giving him the usual handicap and brimming with confidence, believing that he had got stronger during his hiatus. Jaro put that sentiment to rest.
That's a pretty nice sized sledding hill! Glad to see we are not the only ones with snow.
Looks like a great fun! Must’ve been one of them very enjoyable but tiring days! The snow here in the UK already melted so kids had only 2-3 days of sledding down the neighbourhood hill. :)
Oh, that's just too bad. I hope they had plenty of fun though! :)
Well it didn’t seem they went to school yesterday because I was seeing them through my window, playing all they long in the snow. I guess they did have some unusual fun for the area we live in. :)
It was such a nice weather today for sledding (also here in Tampere). How you became friends with markku? Have you known each other for a long time?
Yeah, the weather was excellent. :) I hope it's nice tomorrow too.
I recall I first met him in Oulu in a Go tournament. He later contacted me as he was moving to Lahti (I think it was in Summer 2014), and since I run a Go club, he's been playing with us since then. We both had kids, his daughter Milla being 2 years older than Miro and 2 years younger than Leo, we've often arranged for our kids some activities together.
Cool that you have found each other! It was probably a lot easier for markku to move to another city knowing that he has a potential friend there.
Sure, it was cool that there was a go club. It has a few other active members. I knew Antti from Tampere University of Technology Go Club. When he was a student there, he'd attend the club evenings. After Antti graduated, he moved back to Lahti having got a job there.
Who's that beautiful man on the photo, Marrkujantunen?
Oh, I wish I was so gorgeous and fabulous! Why is the universe so unfair to me. I'm just a frozen
potato!
It was August 2013.
I graduated from TUT but I've never heard of Go club. Hmm..
The moment of happiness of life, is to spend time to share with friends, but always including children, I see that the photos, the children enjoyed a lot, and you also enjoyed talking about steemit and business, I could see Lord @MarkkuJantunen.
My daughters saw their publication and the photos, haha and they asked me if they could go to that place. I did not know what to answer at that moment so as not to have to say a resounding no. Hope is the last thing that is lost, and I would also like to go to such a place. Thanks for sharing those photos and your day.
It is always cool to make trips like this without a plan, just go out and have a good time with the family, only missing vera there @gamer00 by the way is that @MarkkuJantunen near miro? you managed to take a picture of him :D in none of his travel post comes out in his photos, you managed to capture the mythical @MarkkuJantunen in a photo.
I'm not that mythical. Jaro has been able to not only get my picture but shoot me wearing a ridiculous hat, too. See the traveling fun fair post.
I saw it after jaro reply my comment, you look so happy, well at least the hat combines with the little dragon: D
Yes that's Markku...
Ah, you may have missed it when I posted about the trip to the travelling fun fair late last Summer. I had a photo of Markku in that one. :) Oh, and then there can be some Go-club shots I also might have posted.
Markku wrote a post about the same fun fair.
yes it is 6 months ago I was not even in steem and I lost it but Lahti wow is so different without being under snow and -7 °C cool fair
Sometimes, all you need to do is to have some quality time with your family to bring every piece of you life at the right place. I'm glad to see these photos. Hope you enjoyed your trip with your boys. Happy Steeming!
wow it's great to see you going for an outing along with kids and no doubt it's great way to release some stress and gain back lost freshness too, i really enjoy watching miro going down the hill. thanks for sharing your outing moments with us friend, Stay blessed
nice post...how many bottles of beer am i getting for u@gamer00
Ten would be nice. Just kidding.
Hyvä viikonloppua kaikille 🙋♂️🍻 kippis 👊
Samoin! :)
When you learn to sacrifice group in a controlled fashion like you did today, it will be time to play with less handicap.
It's about time to show your brilliance in Go, yeah, got him! :D
It's kinda scary to slide from that hill.
It looks like so funny. I hope you and your children had enjoy with snow! Thanks for thre photos and congrats for the go game :)
I see you all really enjoyed there. Your boy Miro's really brave and best talented. He going down hill awesomely.
That's very nice sledge session! The hill has a long slope! So, children could enjoy a long descend. But when arriving at the bottom of the hill, they have to walk up all the way! That's really a spoiler!
All the pine trees are still sleeping!
This feels like a long winter.
could you record some of readings on YouTube, so I can listen to the book as well?!
Thank you!
Sadly that would go against the law. Also I doubt you would understand Finnish reading.
But I guess I could try reading some translated old (Public Domain) Finnish literature from Gutenberg.
Wow! You have a very strict law in your country!😎
If the reading is in Finnish language, it would be even better! I like to listen to voices or reading sounds before going to sleep! It helps me to fall asleep very fast!!
But if the reading is in English, it would be a bonus to me as I can understand the content before I doze off!
Cheers.
That’s awesome , it good to know that you and Markus are cool buddies . I’m glad that I’ve known you guys from steemit :D , long live cool friendship, seems like you guys had a wonderful fun time in snow xx
Eh... his name is Markku. ;D
Opps, im so sorry. i'm really bad with names :D,Markku. I'm still learning about Finnish culture and Finnish names :D
Wow, Miro was 'gone in 3 seconds' :)
Excellent photos and sleigh rides, entertaining entertainment, I'm sure the boys were satisfied with this skating! Thank you @gamer00
