More fun in Stockholm...

These guards were ornamental in nature. Unlike the Queen's guards in England, they could move, talk- even take a call on their handy! What a wonderful city.

Swinging in Stockholm.....

Stockholm was the first city we visited on our trip. We flew in the night before so we could see the city and so we didn't have to worry about missing the boat. The city was lovely. The people were very friendly and helpful and we didn't have any trouble finding our way around. There are only so many monuments, though, that the kids can handle. The girls and I set out to find some fun, and we did. (The following is a testament to the city of Stockholm and their kind people. When we set out on foot, we must have looked a little lost rather than like the adventurers we were, and a woman went out of her way to ask us if she could help us find our destination!) There was a great park just around the corner from our hotel. But don't forget all the fun you can have INSIDE the hotel- for example with the luggage elevator. Thanks to Uncle Crunchy, the girls got many "rides." Here they are hanging out on the ginormous bed and watching cartoons in Swedish...I guess it's

Shuffleboard, anyone??????

As you can see by my lack of posting, we are having a fun summer! The weather has been wonderful- nice and HOT! We have been swimming and going to the markets, going to the park, etc. What a wonderful summer- and it's not over yet : ) We took a cruise with Auntie Na, Uncle Crunch and Nanny-o. It was fabulous. The food was awesome, the ports were fun and best of all, it was easy and relaxing. We had so many nice family moments. The girls were so much fun and they loved every minute of it. We sailed out of Stockholm after visiting there for a day, went to Helsinki, Finland; St. Petersburg, Russia (!); Riga, Latvia; Gdansk, Poland; and finally Visby, Sweden. This game was in the misty rain....we never let a little rain dampen our fun. H was in kids camp that afternoon. More to come.....
