Taken by my second oldest daughter. In the picture is her little sister and a river called "Vaattunkiköngäs".
You are blessed. Enjoy your family and this beautiful natural environment.

It's easy up here. Thanks
In my time in Helsinki, I remember people complaining to me about how short the days are there and how they wish the days were longer. In the arctic circle, it must be so much shorter during the winter!
Winter days are short but in the summer dun never sets down
Do many people travel depending on the season north and south?
At least to Rovaniemi tourists comes mostly in winter Snow, reindeers, snow safaris and so on... And of course Santa Claus
Arctic circle sounds so much different than that picture feels.
And I bet that river's name is a song title from Eläkeläiset.
I spent a couple of winters in Fairbanks Alaska, and was quite surprised with just how hot it gets up there in the summer, even as far north as the Arctic Circle.
Kind of early to not see snow in that part of Finland, isn't it?
Looks amazing. What a beautiful place to live.
Where circle? /s
