Ikea

Both Erik and Axel have now grown so tall that their pants take up too much room in the drawers. So for quite a while we've been needing a replacement. Today we went to Ikea and bought a couple of cupboards. We had measured the room but not the car! It was a tight fit going home. Tomorrow we'll put up the cupboards. Then we'll see if there's any pieces missing.

The language police just informed me it's a wardrope and not a cupboard we bought :-)

Kobberhättan

We spent the weekend in the summerhouse in Sweden. We took the tour around Kobberhättan which is the top of a steep ravine in the central part of Skåne. It's a national park which is kept preserved as a decidious forrest. The forrest is outstanding. It's in the middle of nowhere though. We were therefore surprised to meet a lot of Asian tourists.

In the....

Elsinore celebrated Baltic days. It's an event where a lot of tall ships visit the harbor. The national guard had also found it's way to the festival. Axel tried on the full outfit. It was heavy, he said.

Great friendship

Axel's best friend Bjarni moved to Iceland last summer. These days he is paying a visit to Denmark. It's really been great to see how happy both boys have been to see each other again and how god they are to pick up their old games.

History day

June 3rd was history day in Denmark. We went to an old bog where they used to cut out peat. Erik was very taken with it and wasn't bothered by the 10.000 mosquitoes that swirled around our heads. We were eaten! Erik dug up quite a bit of peat and was allowed to bring home a big chunk so now we are waiting for an opportunity to burn it.

Be prepared

Over Easter, Axel, Erik and I are going on a boat trip with David. We have bought all the safety equipment. Axel was very concerned about how not to drown. He asked a whole lot of questions at the store and when we came home, he tried out everything.

End of season

Rita's gym class had their end of season show. Rita's team dressed up like animals of the forrest. Rita was a butterfly or was it a fairy? It changed during the day. They really did it good with a lot of sommersaults and jumping jacks etc.
