REINDEER FARM & ARCTIC CIRCLE

Decked out and ready to convoy our way on snowmobiles up the frozen river, Kemijoki, to the Reindeer Park and cross the Arctic Circle.















Yesterday I wasn't going anywhere near the cold today but I "sucked it up Princess" and got on with another adventurous day.

The great thing about Sofie being so tall is she passes for at least 12 years old which meant we did the sneaky trickaroo today and Sofie rode behind Dave on the snowmobile.















Whilst I kept Jayden company in the sledge, with the blanket ;)















Once arrived, frozen solid again, we attended a special Lapp ceremony of crossing the Arctic Circle.















We then, much to Jayden's delight, got to meet the REAL Santa Claus. Father Christmas, as he is called here, told Jayden, "Don't give up the hope."















Dave was very excited to have crossed the Arctic Circle.




















After a light morning tea and warm berry tea we rode back to the starting point to continue the days tour which deserves a post all of its own.

Reindeer Farm and Arctic Circle photos here. Sorry, forgot to put a reindeer photo on the blog but you can see them on the link.
