もうすぐ春だね Soon spring

Coco-chan is interested in flowers and plants. On the way to daycare he stopped by to check on those daffodils. He was concerned for those ones that were damaged. He saw flowers and said "Soon spring!" ro Pinga.

Snow storm in April?!

It was sunny then all of a sudden started to snow heavily. Momo-chan was home with Pinga but twins and Pingu were out at the playground. It snowed on and off all afternoon.

Arrived in Lund

The train got delayed for three hours because of the signal failure. So they came to Lund 10:30 instead of 7:30 am. They liked the night train.

Time to go to bed

It looked like this after converting seats to beds. Twins slept on the middle layer as there were nets to prevent from falling. The train was moving, stopping, noises here and there so Momo-chan and Pinga didn't sleep well but others slept quite ok.

Train arrival

The night train they'd get on came to Åre station. It left on time at 17:15. They've booked restaurant on the train, however, there was food delivery problem and they do not have food and just snacks.

Grilling by the slope

Pinga found it very Swedish that people are grilling their lunch beside slopes. There are places for grilling. She has not seen this any other places. QP-chan was saying she wanted to grill marshmallows.

On their way home

They took a ski bus and got off at Åre village stop. Then they walked a bit to have icecream.

On the anchor lift

QP-chan can now take the anchor lift alone. A week of skiing and twins have improved their skiing skills.

Last day of skiing

Sunday came and it's the last day on the slope. It was rainy and snowy but they enjoyed skiing until 1 pm. Pinga was thinking if it was in Japan, take a long bath in the springs and then go home. Too bad there's no hot springs in Åre or Sweden.

Day 5 in Åre

It's the fifth day of skiing and twins got the hang of it. They can ski red color slopes with almost no problems. Momo-chan taught them how to get speed when it's flat.

Helmet hair Momo-chan

Here's Momo-chan at lunch break. He liked his helmet hair. Cool!

Snowman Valle

Twins got so excited to find Åre mascot Snowman in the morning. His name is Valle. They quickly skied towards gun and took a photo with him.

Skiing until late

Here's QP-chan following Momo-chan. They like skiing much and skied until almost 6 pm. It's still light at 6 pm and they are operating some lifts until 6 pm.

Brothers together

Momo-chan was being a helpful brother and rode the lift together with Coco-chan. Cute bothers!
