Apparently they don’t keep eggs refrigerated here…

Stella figured out that a Swede that can’t ride a bike is kind of like being Hawaiian and not knowing how to swim. After a couple of days of wipe-outs, she’s biking! She’s very excited about it too.

Headquarters of the “East Coast Riders Motorcycle Club” is literally in a cave.

This is the latest attraction at Tivoli Gröna Lund, a swing that lifts you and a friend up over 300 feet into the sky. I did it with Maja who thought it was great.

Beautiful day to eat lunch in the backyard with Maria, Ella, Britt-Marie, and all the Keatleys.

So I went to the gas station to “tanka” and buy some propane for the grill. I filled the tank with diesel and was mildly surprised to see that he total damage was over 1000 SEK, $150. The real shocker came when I went to get the propane. $200 for the tank and $70 to fill it!

Our neighborhood had their annual kräftskiva (crawfish party) tonight. It was really fun to meet all our neighbors and the girls all had a great time meeting the kids in the neighborhood. Our new neighbor Jörgen had an impressive repertoire of drinking songs and his daughter Carolina stayed up late playing cards With M, T, and S.

I was in bockholmen for dinner and saw this beautiful view from the dinner table. The light from the moon and the dusk was just gorgeous.

Today was the first day of school at Ålstenskolan. Actually, it was only uppropning, which is kind of like an open house / welcome day.

I like the one of Maja’s teacher introducing her to some of the girls in her class. Maja was so shy, but said that she “loved school” on the way home. Tilde and Stella seemed to like it too.

Also, we saw a deer on the way to school, so I had to take a picture.

Found a great route for running, mostly along the water on trails like this one. Just gorgeous on clear mornings like this one.
