That actually looks like a nice walk XP though I know for a fact that middle child would have hated the spiders XD Also good thing you got in early, as nice a walk as it is, I can't tell from the photos if it would have been one worth waiting ages to get into.
It wasn't all bad - but I didn't mention the worst part - the people behind us with annoying, screaming children....
The spiders are awesome in Finland! I have arachnophobia, but after living in Finland it is mostly gone, as they are just so lame. Nothing is poisonous enough to do any damage and they are tiny. One benefit of very cold climates. Snakes are the same, only two here and one is poisonous, but is only dangerous if allergic pretty much.
It's not the bitiness or the size she's scared of, it's the weird way that they move as far has I can tell from her common complaint of WHY DO THEY HAVE TO MOVE XD and also the fact that a couple of times J has had to go and deal with spiders he has told me that he had to get his glasses so he could see them XD
