Last days on Fårö and back home!

It was sad to leave Fårö and the people there but we have had three wonderful weeks!!! Great weather and great friends and family around us! Now we are back home and have enjoyed both rainy weather and warm sunny weather. It is good to be back home, too, and to see Alex of course! Marlee and Alex went to the amusement park "Gröna Lund" today with Aman and Mobi. They are not back yet but I am sure that they are having a great time and Marlee was really exited about doing something with papa :-)


ONE day with rain before we left. It felt pretty good! Bike ride to the near by dock to look at the boats and fish.

The sun came back and we enjoyed the beach one last time this year.

After the beach Noah still felt that he had to bath some more and found a little bucket with water...

On the ferry home, Marlee watching the sunset. Bye Gotland!!

Back home. Brave Marlee is watching a spider on his t-shirt....

Not sure that it can get any better, except we are missing pappa...

The sun keeps shining, the water is getting warmer and warmer (top temperature is 27C/80F) and it is difficult to sleep at night because of the heat. The boys have lots of friends everywhere and now their cousin Ailo is here with Linn and Johan. Mobi left two days ago but we will see him again on Tuesday. All the great time we have on the beach and all the fun we have makes me take soooo many pictures and videos and I am trying to post as few as possible but still show you what we are up to. I am "afraid" you have to get ready for a lot of them anyways... :-)

Maybe Marlee's first love, Magda 15 years old... :-) She is the daughter of a family we know here and Marlee did not want to leave her alone. She is a good soccer player and practiced with Marlee.

Mobi's favorite place on the beach, on the blanket with mamma

Gorgeous boys!

Morfar built an obstacle course while "building" on the house. Marlee really enjoyed it!


Noah has gone really crazy in the water!!


Noah has become to brave for his own best in the water. He has no problem with putting his head under water and he does not want anyone to hold him, even if it is too deep for him. Both Marlee and Noah seems to be without limits in the water and it is great fun to see them enjoying it so much!!

Noah's new thing is to dive!

Cousin Ailo arrived two days ago and Noah and him makes such a cute little couple! They are only two months apart.

Walking to the beach


Bringing the toys to the beach in my rain boots... It is only about 25C/77F hot...

Ailo sleeping

Guess who the lazy boy is...

Today we all went to Digerhuvud where the raukar (big rocks made of corals a long time ago) are.  It is not a very child friendly place but the boys had lots of fun while the grown up run after them worried that they would fall and hurt themselves...

Noah and Ailo
On the top of one of the raukar. Yes, he makes me nervous but I guess it is payback time... ;-)

Dinner time by the raukar

Marlee found a "chair" where he could eat his dinner

The three cousins!

Visitors!

The past week had been very sunny and super nice! Pappa arrived late Friday and has had some time to join us on the beach. We did not manage to make him go in the water but at least he dipped his toes :-) Unfortunately he had to go back home today due to his work load but we still have Sofia and Mobi here who joined us Sunday. We have enjoyed a few different beaches but I must say that "our" beach is still my favorite :-)
 
The weather has been sun, sun and some more sun, so get ready for some beach pictures!!!
 
Breakfast on the beach. So beautiful and calm.

Noah is doing art work...

Marlee practicing letters.

Noah has started to wanting to do things himself. Like climbing into his car seat by himself. Of course he is a rain boot boy just like Marlee ;-)

Swimming with the boys

The jelly fish are here!!! (no bad or dangerous ones in our waters)

Sleeping so peacefully in his stroller. He fell asleep without a binkey just by "accident" when I had left it in the car...

Marlee on the beach

Mobi with the Spiderman glasses :-)

Nice visitors, Mobi and Sofia!!!


I wish the sand bothered me as little as it seems to bother Maree...

Noah being silly with mormor when eating pancaked

Look morfar, I did finish it all!!



Sofia, Noah and Mobi in the sunset

Mobi swimming

 

Eating ice cream together!

Noah is so brave in the water, even a little too brave sometimes... He walks straight out in the water and lets the wakes go over him...

Why sleep like everyone else!?

Marlee snorkeling




Tonight we all went down to the beach right before bedtime to go swimming one last time today. It was very appreciated by the children!
