Some videos

Keegan liked playing with my whip.

Here they come riding back, Julianna in front.

This is NAKED MOLE RATS for ROMAN by Julianna

We hope you still love them, we do remember you did....

Here is a long video of turtles, also by Julianna.

When she was filming I was looking for her, as we all had exited the aquarium but she was way to busy filming. . .

Here is two strange looking turtles that I thought were decorations at first until one opened it's mouth. More videos may come, I need to get a program to be able to shorten some of them.

Stockholm with Rachel

We got more rain in Stockholm. Very unfortunate, Sweden is prettier with sunshine but I'm giving Rachel a rain check so she can some back next summer!

We visited Skansen, an outdoor museum with houses, craftsmen, animals, and an aquarium.

We sat and warmed up by the fire in a "lappkåta" the Swedish native people's huts.

We stopped in Uppsala on the way to Stockholm to see Linne´'s gardens and house/museum. It was interesting and wet. Above, Julianna is climbing on a statue of Linne´ at Skansen.

These are for Roman, naked mole rats at the aquarium.

I will post some videos as well by Julianna.

Ice cram in the rain.

Playing in the streets of old town island in Stockholm.

We went to Junibacken, a tribute to Astrid Lindgren and other famous Swedish children's book authors. Here Pippi Longstocking's playhouse.

There is a bench ride where Astrid Lindgren tells you parts of her books and you get to see landscapes of them built up. It's very nice and Sebastian enjoyed it too!

Keegan really liked Sebastian.

We kept our spirits up although the weather got gray and rainy.

We went to furuvik, an outdoor park where they had old traditional Swedish houses, some animals and also amusement rides. It was nice to enjoy an almost empty park where we could let the kids roam, and feed the camels. They had a small aquarium where one could go inside with the snakes. Julianna enjoyed it.

The goats were favorites.

Sebastian sleeps most of the time when we are out but when he's awake he likes to connect.

Traditional Swedish log house painted with Falu organic red paint.

At night, Elena had her school's summer-break performance.

It was traditional with songs and speech.

Julianna picked her Xmas dress to wear.

Rachel was here! First day we had nice weather.

Yeah! Rachel, Quinn, Keegan and Rachel's mom came to visit and it was great fun.

I am still enjoying the wonderful feeling when she called me and said I'm at your door. How unbelievable that felt.
First day the weather was nice (not warm but at least nice).

Elena brought Quinn to school and the rest of us walked to the town park and playgrounds.

Julianna loved Keegan's company on her favorite swing.

In the afternoon we took the horses out.

I was so happy to have you visit Rachel!

Quinn on Spinner, the nicest guy around.


Sebastian got his first stroller ride as I wanted to be free and safe to handle the horses. He seemed to like it as he fell sleep.

Micko is our little pony that loves to run and pull his little cart.

Julianna, and Quinn got some good runs on Spinner.



Then we went to the lake and the kids tried out the cold water.




Chicks were on the beach. A quick hug then back to mom in the lake.

Swedish pizza, way to much Swedish pizza...
