Sweden Recap Part IV - Lugnvik

We spent a number of days in Lugnvik, at Malin and Daniel's home, where Anna got to maximize her time with her faster Malin, and Patrik and I got to play hard with the boys. And once the kids went to bed, the adults had a chance to visit and hatch plans for the future.

With a slackline set up in the backyard, we felt right at home.


Anna was very content in faster's arms.


On one of our afternoons in Lugnvik, we all headed out to Jamtli, which I have heard so much about but have never seen. It's part museum, part playground, part interactive theatre. Different parts of the grounds are divided into different time periods in Sweden, with buildings from those times and with people employed to talk the talk and walk the walk of that period. There is also alot for kids to do and an afternoon was definitely not enough to see everything. But it was a start!



Down a short trail from Malin and Daniel's house is a lake - one of the bigger lakes in Sweden. In the winter, the Eriksson's spend a lot of time skating and sledding on the lake, and in the summer it is good for swimming. We spent a couple of hours down there with the boys swimming and Anna and Malin exploring the stones of the shore.




Anna also got lots of attention from her cousins, which she soaked up. It was fun to watch her watch them - so curious at first, and then with growing recognition and delight with each additional time she met them.
