In Ale there is a tradition for people in the village to get together in the morning and make waffles over open fires on the side of a hill. We have been there most years since I came back to Sweden. Some years have been really sunny and warm and a t-shirt has been enough to keep warm. This year it was quite windy and Cold so we had to run around a bit to stay warm.
Jakob Went straight to Maggi to try to get some warmth from the fire and to keep an Eye on the waffles.
After a bit we got the kids to start playing in the forest which kept them happy for a while.
Last year Elias slept through the whole experience but this year he was part of it all! He can now take a few steps all by himself, but in the forest with the uneven ground a helping hand was needed.
Adam not used to forest Life had a fall when trying to grab Another waffle...
Me - the whale, and Jakob.
After a while everyone was quite Cold so we headed to Maggi's house for some more waffles and for the kids to play. Jakob and Isak were very happy because they talked a lot about having waffles in Maggis house Before we got there - they got what they wanted in the end.
The small kids playing quiet games on the floor...
And the big ones going crazy in the background playing floor ball with brooms!
We weren't planning on visiting the sheep this time but the kids really wanted to and I really like it too so Before leaving Ale we Went past the sheep shed.
The Lambs are growing too fast!
I Think I enjoy cuddling the Lambs as much as the kids.
As Always Isak is really keen, he wants to feed them and hold them and is not scared of anything.
In the end Jakob challenged himself and held a lamb. He has never done it Before and has Always been a bit worried about doing it. He likes being around them and patting and feeding them but has been a biut scared of holding. It was nice to see him doing it in the end and he was very proud of himself.
