Ormberget

After a long winter we are finally starting to get some nice spring weather and yesterday we had a great family day out in the snow with friends. We went to a place called Ormberget (=The snake hill) with some friends. It is a small hill for downhill skiing but there is also a little "pulka" hill which is for sliding down on bobs, pulkas etc (don't know the English words for them). I used to come here a lot as a kid both with my family but also with school so being here again with my own family brings back many nice memories.

Even though the pulka hill is not very high, it's extremly hard pulling Jakob up on the bob. Adam did it lots of times, I did it two times and were exhausted... Think I need to start doing some exercise. I made Jakob walk up a few times and Micke also helped pulling him up.

Isak slept in the pram pretty much the whole time. He woke up once and I had my first "breast feeding outside in winter" experience. I have been wondering a bit if it is possible but now I have the answer: it is and it was no problem at all. At least not this time. I don't think I would try it if it was very cold but yesterday was a nice sunny day with tempeartures close to 0 degrees.

Jakob wants to do everything himself, as always, and of course he wanted to go down the hill by himself. He did it once with me (only becaue I said that I was too scared to go by myself) but after that he went solo every time. I was scared that he would hit other kids but it went well. Puh!

At Ormberget there are bbq places set up for people to use and the council also provides wood so it is a great place to go for a winter bbq. We all brought hot chocolate and sausages and as always it tastes 10 times better eating outside than at home.

All kids had a great time and were really happy and after 3 hours playing Jakob still didn't want to leave.
