Visit to our dear friend's Mary Micke and Charlie

We passed by Kungsängen one day to visit Mary, Micke and their son Charlie. Mary had prepared some hot dogs, drinks and snacks for our visit to a close by park.

First we went to Mary's and Micke's home so the kids took the chance to play a bit with Charlie's toys. Here we have a pipe-smoking Chinese Kiara.

BBQ hot dogs preparations.

Charlie, Kiara and Dana got along great.

Dana also had to go on the zip-line of course.

Training?

More monkeys.

Oliver doing pull-ups.

And of course some more climbing.

Dana had to do some exercise as well.

But it was a bit to hard for her.....

Not enough weight to pull it down.

And again!!!

Dana also...

Looking at the ducks.

After all the fun we enjoyed a coffee.

Playground fun in Eskilstuna

Most of the days in Eskilstuna we took a walk downtown to one of the playgrounds for kids.

Dan, Dana and Kiara.

Kiara, Lucas and Dana at the trampoline.

And some more jumping.

Al three of our kids are like monkeys. Here Kiara got help from Dad the first time on the climbing wall.

And the next time she just went alone.

Relax in the swing.

Junibacken and Skansen with the kids

As Laura went to Germany to meet with our partner there I decided to take the kids to Junibacken and Skansen to see Astrid Lindgren's children and some Swedish animals.

Kiara as one of the policemen from Pippi Longstocking.

A lot of fun to discover at Junibacken.

A short brake for pancakes with whipped cream and "blåbärs sylt".

After Junibacken we went to Skansen for some animal spotting. 

Lucas, Kiara and Dana posing on a squirrel.

Having fun with a goat at mini Skansen.

The snake slide was an enjoyment for the kids.

Dana and Lucas at the slide.

Kiara wanted to bring the snake slide back to Quito.

Hard to explain to the kids that this was a house and not something to climb on.

Looking at the reindeer for the first time. Wonder where Santa Claus is?

The moose was fun for the kids but a bit scary as it was quite big.

Kiara posing as usual.

Dana and Kiara looking for more things to mess around with.

And a brake for some ice-cream. Half went on the clothing's.

Fun to see the kids looking at some old houses.

Kiara and Lucas climbing as usual, nothing was safe for my devils at Skansen.
