.. where Ikea goes kayaking in Soomaa

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

Apparently in Estland, there is a place called Soomaa where besides Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring also another, 5th season exists. (Doesn’t happen in Africa, where my cousins, giraffes live, i’m afraid). so, we decided to go and check it out. and what better way to do that than kayaking, jei! my first time kayaking, in fact. somehow, everyone else had decided to come as well:

also, i can tell u secretly that there were many many more cars when we came back from our trip!! lot’s of fun people, no giraffes. but we did have one swan. White Swan, that is. it was the name of the kayak. here’s me sitting in the Swan:

also, u can see the red bag – that is where we had the camera for fotografs. it is waterproof!!

in fact, these fotografs are taken in the middle of the trip at this interesting place in the middle of water. u can see the place from opposite side also there u can see the “bridge NOT across the water”, hehe!

unfortunately it was not possible to take fotografs while kayaking, because of the water. as u can see, there is NO LAND at all! only water! unfortunately it is only there during the 5th season, and not in the summer and so it is quite cold. and u can’t take camera out with all this cold water and no land. it is dangerous for the camera, i think.

so, here it’s me again, back on the solid land. i have to say kayaking is a bit scary, especially for giraffes, like me. because of the ‘no land’ problem. but besides that, it is a lot of fun! especially with sun outside and shadows!! and i like shadows a lot – as u know! so, definitely a fun weekend, i must say. what about u? have u been kayaking or doing some other watery fun things? let me know! have fun and cu l8r!

.. where Ikea gets stuck in snowstorm

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

well i have to tell u what happened last weekend! it all started with spring outside and Undu saying that he is going for a walk outside. It’s nothing unusual because with all this sunshine and spring-looking weather, I was pretty sure he will go sheeping. Which is lots of fun for the likes of Undu, as i understand. in fact, we had been observing the weather from the window for some time now, so we had reliable data that it is all very nice. after many hours however, Angel suggested someone should go and check where Undu is. Because after all, he is from countryside and we live more close to the city area. So, I went to discover that Undu…

… stuck in snow!! luckily, he had his sheep costume! it is really really mysterious where this snowstorm came from with all this sunshine and spring outside! very mysterious…
this however was only just beginning, because right after i had found Undu, i got very much stuck in snow myself!

with a little fight i managed to get into a bit of shade under an edge of snow. not much help, i’m afraid..

but i must say that if we factor out the wind, snowstorms are generally lots of fun. because of the snow, u know! i managed to take fotograf of me where there is just the snow part of the snowstorm and no wind, check it out:

it’s all good fun! well, right until it starts melting, hehe! but, back to the story; so, now we were stuck in snowstorm, both Undu and me! luckily, within few minutes of being stuck it just so happened that my friend Sipsik came by! very good timing, i must say. so, we were rescued from being stuck in snowstorm and taken on a ride on a pram, hehe! i have made a fotograf also below. pram-riding is very much fun, i can tell u that! i think i will need to write about pram riding more in detail, when we get a chance to do it more properly. that is, not being wet at the same time!! so, i will now go and ask my friend Sipsik about scheduling one of these rides. but u – let me know about your fun happenings and if u have been stuck in snow recently? have fun and cu l8r!
