Summer vacation

After a hard rain storm this morning it has turned out to be a beautiful day here in Charleston. It feels like a perfect Swedish summer day.

Those days I miss, there's nothing better. We sailed for weeks at the time every summer vacation and I hope to do that with my kids one of these days before they are grown up and gone.

Meanwhile I just watch and remember those days far gone.

Nail polish

Fia is now in to have her nails painted just like mom, as the princess she is.

The other day she got a hold of a bottle of nail polish and went at it. She painted her hands, arms and some of her hair.

When I got in through the door that night the first thing I said was; It smells like nail polish remover.

Marta calmly replied; Ask your daughter.

So I did and Fia very happily exclaimed: Fia fin! (pretty)

All that was left from her beautification session was pink highlights in her hair. But pretty she is.

Volunteer

The weekend of May 16-18 you will find me selling tickets. I will proudly wear my green volunteer shirt.

They expect 80 000 people to come visit the festivities, that shall be fun.

Busy guy

Alex is a busy guy, to many activities maybe. This was yesterday.

0900-1400 school

1415-1445 golf lesson

1500-1530 swimming lesson

1600-1730 farmers market

1800-1900 soccer game

When he got home at 1930 he was rubbing his eyes. A quick dinner and a bath later he was snoozing away in his bed.

Sick

Fia has an inner ear infection that according to Dr. B looks really nasty.

It's so nice to be back in the regular grooves after a weeks vacation.

Who can beat Pooh?

Maybe Tigger?

Mickey

Alex remembers last year but Fia doesn't. She do recognise Mickey Mouse from the Disney Chanel and that is pretty much what Marta and I heard from the backseat of our trusted V70 for 6 hours driving to Orlando, FL.

I was about to drop the child at the nearest rest area for some peace and quite.

Did she get to meet Mickey? Yes she did, not only Mickey, Minnie too. Poor Fia had to put up with her stinking brother how ever. How do you get him out of the picture?

Where dreams come true

Vacation

Sorry for a week delay in blogging. We have been on vacation, it was fantastic. I will fill you in as I upload. All I can say is the dollar is weak so come on overt and we will have some fun.

By the way, this is where we went, Disney World. The picture is from Magic Kingdom. I guess you have to be there to get the grasp of the atmosphere, it is unbelievable.,

And where are we going in August?
