We've done a lot this summer, including some great trips out!
Lydia LOVED the carousel at the Gothenburg Culture Festival. I think this boy who was older than her (yet a total stranger) made her more confident to ride...
Somehow, Lydia broke down in tears when she tried to ride the carousel again, this time with a little girl who sat next to her. I had to take her off before the thing even started.....well, there's always next year.
And then we found a great lake nearby that is really "kid friendly."
I thought Markus was napping through our time at the lake, but he is much more awake and wanting to join in the action these days....
Just a side note....Swedish kids love to be naked at the beach. (totally normal behavior here)
Would this kind of thing happen in America?
Daniel jumped off the top of that....oooh the thrill.
We also took a ferry out to some sweet islands outside of Gothenburg, and had ourselves a beach grill.
Looks all dreamy, right? (Well, it was a lot of fun but we were all freezing cold here.)
And those "one time use" grills you can buy? Hmmm, it died out after about 15 minutes and we had to beg and plead it to cook our meat and vegetables. Note to self, next time buy two grills!
FUN! Americans would freak out to see kids running around in their b'day suits; however, in China I think the age must be 10 or something before the kids start wearing anything at the beach! It was quite shocking to me. I wanted to yell "Hey, put some clothes on!!!"
