Baking

Lucas and Dana helped me to make a chocolate cake.

Volcano Park with the family

Lucas and Kiara ready for some action in the roller coaster.

Me and the kids in the Viking swing. Kiara went from happy to panic to happy again while Lucas and Dana just enjoyed the whole ride.

Making knäck

Made an attempt to make some KNÄCK, a typical Swedish Christmas candy.

Monster lunch

Why is is so funny for small kids to show the food in their mouth? 

Dana fooling around

Dana insisted on using my shirt.

Playful little devil.

Mindo construction

Fixing the shower curtains in the master bathroom.

Burning all the old wood we had stored as the termites had found a resting place in the pile.

Just for fun I'm gluing together some old pieces of the floor to maybe make some small tables. 

When burning some old wood that the termites made their home the roof drainage canal melted a bit so another future project to fix that is on the list.

Towel shell in place.

School fun

Just waiting for skate and swimming classes at Kiara's school.

Any garbage can be fun as long it is not mom or dad who tells them to throw it in the trashcan. 

Cant believe Dana already climb up and cross the monkey-bars all by herself.

Firefighter Kiara

Dana my sunshine

Dana's school had a dance program where every class put up a show.

Dana played the sun, happy as ever.

Mindo construction

Preparing for some shells in the walk-in-closet.

Preparation for for a platform with some digging, fairly simple and fast.

Some wood to keep the shape, still easy and fast.

Bring some gravel as foundation, easy and fast. Last part to mix cement for the first time in my life was hard on the back and slow. Hope it was the last time...

Started to install the two extra water-tanks in my new platform

Mindo construction

Got some curtain that I finally could install in the three bedrooms though I have to say that it is nice to wake up with the panorama of the mountains.

Just the old windows that needs to be changed now to be able to put some framing on the windows.

Mindo dreamhouse

Work in Mindo keeps moving on. Here I have some temporary shells to start organizing my shit

Shower drape is up in one bathroom

Fuse box is ready and fixed so that I now can connect the generator to any outlet with a cable to use all the outlets in the house. Helps to not have to trip on extension cores all the time and easier to keep clean.

Kids at school

Last day in school before Day of the Dead and ready to bake some typical bread.

Kiara in her classroom drinking Colada Morada and having her baby bread

Happy with some sweet bread

Kiara seems to be into drawing at the moment

Maybe it is supposed to be her friend?

Lucas ate fast and ran to play soccer

Traveling with Singelresor from Sweden

Went with a group from Singelresor to Amazon Dolphin lodge but the water was low so the pink dolphins didnt show up

Strong on the equator

The group helped to make some sugarcane juice

Marine Iguana wondering what all the gringos are doing

Tortuga Bay, always a nice place to go to

The gang with daddy in the middle

Mandatory church visit in Quito

Visit to a family that makes pan-flute and plays amazing music

Dildo palm in all sizes

Giant tortoise on Santa Cruz

Amazon pineapple. To bad it was not ready to eat.

Relaxing in Tonsupe

We took the kids to Tonsupe on the coast to relax after the summer groups

The kids loved the pool as usual

But my dear wife thought it was cold though

Dana is learning to swim as well

3 sharks in the water
