Levi - Finnish Lapland

Levi is a cute holiday town with activities that go on year-round. We had a very exciting adventurous time in Levi. First stop was the Levi Adventure Park, where the family decided to do some high ropes courses. Andrew and Alex did the one for adults, and I stayed with the kids so that Maddy could complete the children's course. She was hesitant at first, but soon realized how much fun it was and had a blast. I was really proud of her for her efforts. Of course I didn't get to see Andrew and Alex climb, but know that Andrew attempted all of the tracks and really pushed himself to the limit to become the ultimate high ropes climber. And Alex...well.... he put forth an effort...
We also took Maddy to a summer sled track down the side of a mountain. She really enjoyed this as well, as the adults took turns taking her down. Everytime you reached the bottom, she'd yell "let's go again".
We also hiked the Levi Fell, which was a beautiful site. We were lucky that we had pretty decent weather but also came late enough that we hit the starting of "ruska", which is the Finnish term depicting the beginning of the changing of the colours.
Levi was very fun, especially our hotel - we stayed at the Crazy Reindeer :)
