Medieval jousting (lots of photos and videos)

Lots of sun lately and we spent one day in Visby where we went to a Medieval jousting. It is the annual Medieval week in Visby with lots of activities and a lot of people dressed accordingly.

Gabriel has gotten really stable on his legs and can stand on his own for a few seconds now. He also have a few teeth coming in the upper jaw now :-)

They need a lot of things on the beach

At the jousting




Gabriel was not that exited :-)









He did not have time to wait for me to get ready, he had to get in!

Two boys in their robes



Kids who love waffles

Even Gabriel had a bite and likes it a lot!

These colors never get old!!

We all took a swim together today





It is perfect for Gabriel that the water is so shallow

He finally got cold and tired

Playing kubb





Enough swimming for today!

Exploring the former lime stone industry at Bläse and Stenkusten (photo medley)

A great day spent at the former lime stone industry at Bläse, which is now a museum. We took the little train where they used to transport the lime stone and climbed the lime stone waste hill, before driving the coastal dirt road back to the Fårö ferry. Great adventures and challenges for the boys!

On the ferry over to Gotland from Fårö

Arrived at the lime stone industry museum and and train

Morfar and Noah on the train

Marlee on the train

Arrived at the lime stone quarry (kalkstensbrott)


By the shore



Time to go back to the factory






Our next challenge is to climb the "waste hill"


Some parts were pretty steep

View of the factory and port


Such beautiful surroundings!!!

Took the car back to the quarry to go swimming :-)

Explored a bunker near by

I asked them to look cool inside the bunker!?

Beautiful drive along Stenkusten back to the ferry (we will take you here next time, pappa!)

Wiiiiii, the sun is here!!!

I don't want to complain but this summer has been both cold and rainy. On the other hand, that makes us appreciate the sun even more, and today was a beach day!! Yey!! Even if it was kind of cold in the air. On the other hand, that makes the water appear even warmer (or less cold)! :-)

We had a good day on the beach.


Gabriel was sooo cuddly on the beach today (and he managed to pee on me twice!!)



Cold after swimming

Nice view!
 While morfar made dinner the rest of us took a "mushroom walk" in the forest. We did find about a liter of chantarelles (no picture unfortunately) and a lot of berries!!!

Lots of ant lion holes, just like Ormond!

Lots of blueberries this year!

And lots of lingon berries, too!!
