Gröna Lund!Be

When planning the trip to Stockholm a visit to Gröna Lund was on the must list, but when looking at the weather forecast we thought we had to change the plans. The only night it was open when we were there it was going to rain and rain and rain. When the place opened in the afternoon the sky was almost blue so we decided to go in (even though Jakob was not happy to leave the hotel again, he wanted to stay and play Ipad). I am glad that we went because we had a great night! It seems like both Jakob and Isak like rides as much as I do so we all went crazy in there. Even Adam had a go at a few of them.
Isak would have done them all if he had been allowed to but many of them had hight limits and he was too short. He was devastated when he had to wait and watch Jakob go on some of them. 








The weather was great all night! not sure how the weather people could get it so wrong.

Viktor did great in the pram until about 8pm when it started getting dark and was very noisy with lights flashing everywhere. 

It worked ok as long as we carried him though. 

This ride, that went up and down quite fast, Jakob and Isak did probably 15 times!

About to leave Gröna Lund after a fantastic night! since it is the end of the season it was not so busy and no queing for any of the rides. Because of that Jakob and Isak did a few of them over and over and over again, just getting out, and running around to go in again. 
I was the only one who did the one where you sit in a chair go straight up in the air nearly 100m (I think) and then get dropped straight down (free falling). I was a bit scared but found a man who was going by himself as well and talked to me on the way up and distracted me by getting me to admire the view of Stockholm instead of thinking about falling to the ground. It was an amazing feeling in the end and I am glad I did it!
