Sweden

Our stay in Sweden was so special because we were visiting our friends! We stayed with them in Sandviken. Quinn went to school with Elena 2 days, and on our only sunny day, we enjoyed our afternoon at the farm where Petra boards her horses. It was so beautiful, and so much fun!

It was a thrill when Petra ran the horses down the lane.

Keegan loved the open spaces.

We went to a lake.

There were lupines everywhere.

Quinn and Elena at Elena's end of year program for school.

Carl Linne's(the man responsible for creating the binomial nomenclature system!) house and gardens in Uppsala. We saw quite a few wonderful gardens in Sweden.

After a quick stop in Uppsala, we all went to Stockholm. We spend one day at Skansen. The kiddos fed the camels...and fed them and fed them and fed them.

A very narrow street in Old town.

Keegan adored Sebastian...I guess we all did! Thank you Petra for a wonderful week. I hope we can visit again someday! We also got to meet some of my mom's relatives who live in Uppsala. We had a wonderful lunch with them at their home. Would be great to see them again too someday.

Nice photos. Yes, please come again. You know we loved having you here! I love the photo of Keegan, and how he loved playing with the horse whip.
And the one of Micko running, and how in the back-ground Julianna´s legs don't reach far down on Spinner. She's been riding a lot this summer and boy she is brave and learning a lot.
Enjoy being home. In Sweden we say; Borta bra men hemma bäst!
