Oh, we are having some good times, my friends! The Swede has three weeks of vacation-slash-parental leave ahead of him while Jamie's school is closed for the summer. I have less vacation time so I'm saving up for our trip to the States later this year but will join my boys for five days next week. I did, however, take yesterday off, so we just finished the three-day weekend of a lifetime.
We started by asking Jamie what he wanted to do with the weekend and he told us that he wanted to see monkeys. Fine by us, we love a good monkey as much as the next guy. So we swung over to Parken Zoo, a little over an hour away, and spent the day there checking out the animals and animatronic dinos and riding kiddie carnival rides.
On Saturday we decided to venture even further, to Dalarna, where we spent a few days around Jamie's birthday last year. We spent the day at
Sommarland and the evening at one of the hotels we stayed at last year. It is the prettiest area and we wanted to stay forever.
On Sunday we sent The Swede to the spa to relax by the pool before it became available to children at noon, and Jambo and I played outside, took a walk into
town and had a popsicle to kill some time.
When it was time for us to join The Swede, we changed into our swimming suits and splashed around in the pool and the hottub and got Jamie good and tired before the ride home.
Summer has just begun and if the rest of it is even a fraction as fun as this weekend was, it's gonna be a good one.
