Then home to train with my moms stallion.
My parents place;
Play in the pool before dinner!
The carport is coming along!
I love this dog, I’m gonna pack her in my suitcase when I leave!
What’s for dinner?
Oh shoot, you have to do your homework? Why don’t you stand there and read for us while we sit here and drink our beers?
The kids wanted to show me their precious pony Musse today, he looks just like my first pony as well!
They are doing a great job with him, but it’s not always that easy and sometimes you fall off… I think that’s awesome though, because that means you have to make a cake for everyone who saw!
So the place my parents have has almost everything they need, just missing the carport, but they have to have something to do on their spare time, right?
I wasn’t thinking so much about it at first, but as they got closer, I got more and more excited about it!
You can see the drill, they are through, how awesome! They are expecting the first passenger train to run through the tunnel in 2015, I can’t wait!
We celebrated with “fika” after – coffee and cupcake.
This is what it looked like back in 1993 when they started.
A replica of the new drill “Åsa”, she conquered the Hallandsås and is retiring now.
You could take a piece of the ridge with you home, just like you could’ve taken a piece of the Berlin Wall with you home back in 1989. I’ve been running up and down this freaking ridge so many times in my life, I didn’t really feel the need of bringing a piece of it home. Sadly, someone thought it was an ashtray. I have no respect for smokers.
Amazing open faced prawn sandwich and a beer for lunch with my parents! Why don’t we get these kind of prawns in Los Angeles?
We picked up my sisters kids from school after lunch and drove down to the very south of Sweden and Ale Stenar in Kåseberga. Last time I was there was 27 or so years ago and all I remembered was the photo we had of me and my brother and sister sitting on one of the stones, so I was super excited to go back!
The little fishing village of Kåseberga of the southern coast of Sweden. The stones is just a short 10 minute hike up the hill.
Germany and Poland is there somewhere across the sea.
All these years, I thought this was gravesite and a Viking king was buried here. But it turns out they don’t really know what this thing is all about. It’s 59 large boulders that are raised in the shape of a ship and it’s laid out so that the sun sets over the two main stones during the summer and winter solstice, suggesting it is a form of a calendar. It apparently also has some connections to the Stonehenge in England. They think this thing was made about year 600 CE.
What do you do when you are 6 years old and you see a bunch of large stones? You climb them!
I think my niece is obsessed with butts. But why not, butts are cool!
We made the best cupcakes ever when they came back from school!
My brother was coaching, hilarious!
What’s for dinner? Oh, but of course!
The water wasn’t as cold as it looks.
My brother in law had bought a bunch of new local beers, I tried the Premiär, a lager from Båstad Öl, it was really good!
The weather got worst and it started to pour after lunch – is it gonna be like this all week? Fun times!
My mothers siblings and a couple of my cousins showed up for a family reunion crayfish party. I can never get enough of these little bastards!
They come with a beer and a shot by default.
We chilled for a little bit after breakfast but drove over to Lake Cachuma to paddle kayak soon after.
After almost two hours of paddling, we were totally worth a picnic lunch!
Stupid bird had it’s eyes on our food!
Camping is not o much about camping, it’s more about eating!
