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!!! :)))

Two cute fox kits!

Finally! I met 2 fox kits yesterday evening playing on a field and had a chance to photograph them. I was sure I would get closer than I did but they have grown so much after the last time I saw them and I guess their mom has taught them well to avoid humans. I have to try harder next time!
Oh and there was a big elk in the bushes too, didn't see him but could hear he was big when he ran away :)
There are so many hares around and one was thinking she could hide from me LOL




This is me watering the plants :D But isn't it beautiful?!






Thanks for looking! I will be away for a week or more now, am going to Norway tomorrow :) But hopefully will get a chance to log on every once and a while.

Who I met in the forest today

A wide variety of animals and birds in the forest today :)
Will list who I saw:

A couple of roe deer
A buzzard who was acting strangely and sitting on smaller trees, almost near the ground, was probably waiting for hare and little birds
2 hares (wild rabbit), you can see the other one in the pic, came really close and didn't mind me at all :)
A cute little pine marten
A huge variety of birds like robins and thrush and so on
Two cranes on a field having breakfast ;)
A squirrel





These are my pretty lilies that I got from a friend last year, the colour is sooo wonderful! :)

The fox family

You all know how much I love foxes, imagine how thrilled I was to see so many of them during my holiday last week. And the best news is that there is a fox den somewhere not far from my house, I haven't found it yet but my mom saw two fox kits one evening and I saw one the next morning. They are so incredibly cute! Quite small still.

So this is the first fox I met one evening hunting for food :)

And this is the mom. She was so occupied with the hunt and when she appeared to the field she already had about 4 mice in her mouth :D But then dropped them all and caught another one. And then quickly hurried to her kiddies with 5 mice in her mouth! :)

This is a closeup of the mice! :D Against the light so not good quality. And would you look at those tits! HAHAHA

Very early next morning I went to look for little foxes and I managed to find their trail. It was another sunny day but the trail was in a dark forest, not good conditions for photography. I was already giving up of finding the den when suddenly I saw one fluffy little fellow hopping towards me on that very trail! :D He saw me just as I saw him which was a pity. We stared at each other for 10 seconds and then he turned and ran back the way he came. It was my first encounter with a fox kit and I knew that they were cute but I didn't think they could be this cute! :D Looking forward to meeting them again!

This is another handsome fellow, I think this could be the dad but I'm not 100% sure. He was a bit lazy :) Sat in the middle of the field for a long time and was probably waiting for the mice to jump into his mouth ;)
