Hubby's 40th Birthday party!

So my hubby is turning 40 on the 1st of September but we already decided to have a party on the 20th of August. It's a national holiday too so we were hoping that a lot of people can come. And they did!! About 50 people showed up! :D Now let me show you the place where we had the party - it's simply AMAZING! But bare with me, this is a long blog post with lots of pretty pics ;)

We found this place on the internet in the beginning of summer and booked it immediately. It's located in the centre of Estonia right beside a big lake and was built a few years ago.

Birthday boy admiring the bright colours of the pool :)

There are also 2 other houses besides the main house where people can sleep and every house has a sauna :P

The guests are arriving, time to open up the champagne :P


That trampoline was great! I had fun on it the next day with my sisters :D

We were SO lucky with the weather because it had been raining before and it did the next day but not on THE day :)) Of course I paid the weather guy a lot too LOL



We had rented two boats for the evening, one was a quiet and slow boat and the other one was going tooo fast for me :S I didn't go on it but seeing it speed away with the people I love on it was a bit hmmm....





Meanwhile the ones that stayed behind were enjoying life to the fullest too :) This swing was an amazing place to be, I didn't want to leave! Imagine a quiet summers evening, a million dollar view, good company and a swing where you could lie down, ahhhhh!


Balloons, balloons, where are you heading?

They seemed to be organized LOL probably having a meeting of some sort :)

And then the evening came and they turned on the pool lights!!! I have to say amazing for the third time already :D



Still pretty the very next morning, maybe even prettier if that's even possible :)

My little sister coming to say good morning straight from bed :)

She is cute anyway but she was tooo cute that morning, still sleepy and warm :)

We found an interesting rock by the lake.


When everyone left I had a look at the suite, we didn't use it but I wanted to see it and I loved the bathroom.




I seriously don't remember the last time when I was this happy and had such a good time!!! :)))

Last weekends trip with hubby

Trips that are not planned are the greatest! :D I came up with this idea to visit the north east side of Estonia the day before. We started driving on Saturday morning and a few hours later arrived at a place which is known as the most lake filled area in Estonia :) You get the point ;) We ended up hiking for 3 hours and walked about 12km (7,5miles). The weather was nice, a bit windy though.


This is a tiny plant (less than half an inch tall) that grows only in wet areas and eats flies and mosquitos. You can see the mosquito in the next pic ;)



Light was not good for photography but took the pics anyway to show you where we went ;)



That's a man made hill in the background, we don't have big hills or mountains in Estonia.
---------------------
We stayed the night at a beautiful manor. The room was lovely and we enjoyed our dinner at the restaurant! :)



There were lots and lots of birds in the park :) This is a fieldfare.

The view from our room! I wish I could wake up to this every day! :D

Our tasty dinner...

...and dessert ;)




A very smart and old cat! She came to the manor some 5 years ago and never left. I don't blame her, they feed and look after her and she gets to live like a queen sleeping all day at the comfy chairs :D She didn't even open her eyes when I petted her haha
The manor is located on top of the highest cliff around here, sadly we didn't see the cliff this time because on that area the trees have taken over...

And to end the story - not the manor cat but this cat had beautiful eyes :)

Thanks for reading! :)
