Swan family update?

A really friendly swan family was hanging around as we were fishing the other day. Didn't know if it was the same one from around midsommar which had five chicks instead of three. We definitely got the impression the tourists have been feeding the local wildlife. Their 'hiss' turned from a threatening noise to one of asking for food.

Gone fishin' (the sequel)

Brothers fishing. Why do I want to whistle the Andy Griffith song?

pumpkin patch update

Update on the pumpkin patch. The top plant was the original one pictured when we started this. The plants have really taken off in the past week or two. May get some pumpkins afterall.

he did it!

Jake's training wheels came off on Friday. He's riding like a pro.

pumpkin patch update

Getting a little bigger. Dad is starting to wonder if we'll have pumpkins by Halloween. I think we'll be fine, even if they are small. Dad says next year we'll start them inside earlier so they will have a longer growing season than this year.

this is the good stuff

To me, this picture epitomizes why we came. Mormor offers Sam a taste after 'icing' a birthday cake with whip cream and fresh strawberries for cousin Jonaton.

winterharbor

Every day or every other day Dad and the boys ride bike up to winterhamn (the winter harbor, as opposed to the summer harbor for pleasure boats). This boat is one of the biggest ones and takes people out to Sandhamn, a nearby island.

first visit from the toothfairy

I have had a loose tooth for a while and it finally came out! The tooth fairy is going to come tonight so I am going to put it underneath my pillow. My new tooth is already showing, you can't really see it in the picture.
