On Friday, we went back to Grona Lund as a family. Brady and Brenna love it there! We fed them there, tired them out, and went out to dinner afterwards.
We decided to take advantage of the grill check out and had a beautiful family dinner down by the wading pool last Sunday. It was so nice and we had a great time with the kids.
Monday was an uneventful day of laundry and Puh Corner (the indoor playroom here).
Tuesday I decided it was time to do something that wasn't only meant for young children...shopping! I headed to the center of town to look around and window shop. Instead, I ended up running across a cultural fair. It was great. There were arts, crafts, food, and music from many cultures. There were also some really great street performers. The kids and I had a ton of fun until the rain hit! We tried to outlast it in the Denmark tent, playing with Legos but decided we better head home when everyone started closing up.
Thursday, we met Craig during his lunch time and headed back to the fair. There was a really great show in the square. Unfortunately, I didn't bring my camera. There were some guys using a giant exercise ball to do tricks on while they balanced. They also had a van with the whole top as a trampoline. They did many cool tricks and it was fun to watch.
Friday, was a fun day! Troy, Craig's student, arrived in Stockholm. After they went to the lab and he checked into his hotel, we met back to head out to Robert's Crayfish party. It was a fun night and deserves its own blog entry.
Saturday we headed out with Troy to show him a bit of the town. We went by the culture fair for its last day, headed to Galma Stan to check out the shops and then took the ferry over to Djurgarden. We stopped outside Skansen to grab some ice cream. I had my very first nose bleed that didn't have anything to do with a soccer ball. It was very strange and super embarrassing!! I obviously lived through it :) After ice cream (and getting cleaned up) we went over and spent a little time at Rosendal garden. It is such a beautiful spot!! On the way home, we stumbled across a car show. There were some really great cars and some silly ones!
That leads us to today...it is super super windy!!!! We are just hanging out and enjoying some relaxation time.
