Week 31 - Sofia's summer camp

In the end of July Sofia went to a horse summer camp to the same place where she went last year. The only problem was that it was all in Finnish and Sofia only speaks Swedish and Italian, of course. As long as they did something with the horses or went swimming I think everything went quite well and Sofia also learnt to understand lots of things they said to her in Finnish, but then in the evening as the girls went to bed and of course chatted a lot in Finnish, she felt quite lonely. On Thursday they organized a a little competition that we were invited to watch and when it was time for us to leave and come back to fetch her the next day she said that she wanted to come home with us. So she stayed 4 days instead of 5.
On the second photo Carlotta is choosing books from the library. We often go there to borrow books and films. The libraries here in Finland are so nice.
On Wednesday evening we decided to go to The Maritime Centre Vellamo. They have free entrance every Wednesday evening. It's a museum telling about the maritime life in Finland and as the sea is very present in Kotka, its position by the sea is very good. Daniele was in Lovisa at his friend's house, so it was only me and my parents with Carlotta. She only liked the interactive part of the museum and didn't find the rest of it too interesting.
On Friday we went to the summer theatre in Lovisa and saw My Fair Lady. The actors are really good and we had a nice evening. My husband came to Finland for a few days. His mother has been staying at our house since June since she isn't well and can't live alone anymore, but she stayed at a relative's house for a few days so Armando could get a few days off to spend with us. We had a nice lunch at Kalastuskievari, a little restaurant by the rapids of Korkeakoski.
