I Went Back to Sweden

Well I've been back home for a while but I'm finally getting around to posting stuff about my trip to Sweden. My mom kept calling it "Svar-eeya" and I thought that was weird until I got there and EVERYBODY talked like her. I didn't care because I understood everything that everybody was saying.

There's no way I can describe everything we did on the trip, but let me tell you -- it was just like mom and dad said it would be. We rode on a tåg up to this huge building and then we rode on a flygplan for what seemed like six days. And when we got there we hung out with Stina and Pedr and Sonja and Sven.. and I remembered them from the last time I was here. They're all really nice and Sven is still cute..

On the trip we went to a park with all kinds of rides.. and I got to drive a car with Sonja and me! I thought we were too young to drive but I guess things are different in Sweden.



I also saw a museum that was supposed to be about Pippi Långstrump but I was more interested in the Mumin display!



We ate all kinds of great food and we took a drive up to a really nice area where for some reason they paint little horses.

The weird thing about going to Sweden is that when I was tired, it was NOT time to go to sleep. And when it was time to go to sleep, I was NOT tired.. and then it was just like that again when I got home.. very strange..

Vacation Week

So we just got back from an entire week away from my house in Baltimore. I'm not sure where I was but it was like a HUGE drive in the car just to get there. The house where we stayed was much bigger than my house -- it was so big that Grammy and Paba were there too, and so were all my cousins -- Laney, Colin, Junior, Kasey and Tess. And all of their parents too. There was a nice big lake to play in and a beach where I ran around naked all the time, until I got tired. And the weather was nice so I could play outside like every day. Totally fun.. I hope I get to go back there sometime.

And ever since that trip Mamma and Pappa have been talking about another trip that we'll be taking.. they just keep telling me that we're going to ride on a tåg and then a flygplan and then everybody we see is going to talk like Mamma. I'll believe it when I hear it!
