Car trip Day 1!


Last Tuesday we started our long drive from Luleå down to Uddevalla. The kids had packed their bags the night before and the car was packed before we went to bed. At 6 am, after putting the kids in the car straight from bed in their pj:s, we picked up mum in the city. Zara, Finn and Lykke left at the same time with the plan to try to stick close together down to Gävle where we were all going to spend the night.
We did over 2 hours before stopping to change the kids and have breakfast. Isak puked 2 times and Jakob complaind over pain in his belly, but apart from that we had a good start.

Beautiful sunny morning along the E4.


After breakfast both kids had a sleep in the car and not long after we had lunch at the bottom of Skuleberget. Plenty of space for the kids to run around.

Jakob and Isak preferred Zaras food...

The children really wanted to climb the mountain but knowing how far we had to drive I didn't think it was a good idea. I took them up a little bit though hoping that it would be nicer for them to sit in the car with tired legs.

Zara did the drive all by herself - very impressive!

Stop number 3




In the late afternoon, after having done about 750 kilometers, we arrived at Furuvik where we spent the night in a small but cosy little cabin. The kids were amazing in the car, I have nothing to complain about!

When mum got dinner organised I took the kids for a walk around the caravan park.


And stopped at the playground...

Dinner in the sun!

Cute Isak!

Jakob and I doing one of many rounds of mini golf!

At the end of the day Jakob and Isak lost the plot a bit (being very tired I think) and ran around like crazy when mum did the dishes. We all fell asleep very quickly that night after a good first day!

Tired boys

After the tivoli Jakobs friend Eddie from dagis came over for a play and when he left Adam played soccer with the kids and the neighbours grandchild and I went for a run. After dinner we were all extremly tired after 2 great days together.

The day after...

Our third and last Midsummer tradition is to go to the tivoli on Midsummers Day.

Jakob, Lykke, Zara and Finn!

Isak very happy with himself when having a go at the train with Jakob!

He got his confidence up so much he wanted to do the bumper cars with Adam but started freaking out when a man took him off Adams lap and put him next to him. He didn't get over it so I had to pick him up.

Poor Isak... it took him quite some cuddling before he was himself again.

Party

For the third summer in a row we have organised Midsummer Party for some of our friends. The week has been pretty busy preparing for it all but with some help from mum and good planning we made it!

At about 3pm Adam opened a bottle of sparkling for a first toast!

The kids also got some special glasses and bubbles!

Isak!


Jakob stopping Isak from leaving the back yard.

The kids perparing their own food.

The kids got to eat outside but by the time the adult food was ready it was too cold to be outside.


When the adults had their dinner the kids went crazy on snacks and the cars movie.

The little ones starting to get a bit tired...

And the big ones playing some night soccer...

I am very happy with my dessert, the only negative was that there was none left for breakfast the next morning...




Midsummer at Hägnan

.
Every Midsummer for the last few years we have spent the morning/day at Hägnan. Adam stayed home to prepare for the party and Isak stayed home to get a good sleep, but Jakob, mormor and I had a nice day in the sun!


We got there quite early which was good because a couple of hours later the place was packed and nearly impossible to move.

Zara and the family were there as well!


Jakob entertained the oldies by running around on the stage for a while.

Åsa, Micke, Vilmer and Maggi came as well but we left not long after.

Birthday party!

Vilmer turned 1 on the weekend and we joined him to celebrate the big day!

As always when in Ale the weather was nice and Jakob played football pretty much the whole time there.


Isak had 3 fruit boxes and was happy!

And also realised that in the kitchen he could play with lots of toys all by himself!

Chillin in the sun, but Jakob on the move as always...
