We're Sons Of Our Fathers

"When I grow up to be a man
like my father was when I was young
I hope I can make him so proud of me
Proud enough to call me his son...

We're all sons of our fathers
sometimes I feel like mine
and I can hear him say, the things I say
seems all things come around in time."
- Phil Collins




Happy Father's Day to all! This wonderful day is not celebrated in Finland until November 12, so Daddy is lucky enough to get 2 days devoted to him the next few years. Since he left for a business trip late last night, we celebrated his day on Saturday.


We spent the morning and most of the afternoon playing on the beach of Uunisaari Island. We had a picnic and watched the sail boats glide by most of the day. We headed back to shore via the ferry and made it to Esplanadin Puisto just in time for a parade. We are clueless what the parade was in honor of, but hundreds of belly dancers of all ages lined the streets, decorated in feathers and beads! We hurried home for a steak dinner and a movie. We hope everyone is able to have a great Father's Day spent with their loved ones!
