Summer Holidays - Part VIII - Protection Island

No summer would be complete without some time spent on Protection Island, so that is where we headed for the last 5 days of our trip. We spent the first couple of days with mormor and morfar, who were waiting for us with a yummy dinner and cake to celebrate our wedding anniversary.


We thought we were already relaxed from our sweet coastal holiday, but Protection Island brought our relaxation to a whole new level.



Josefin and Isabelle came out and joined us one day, and the girls enjoyed the pool together. Anna let mormor play with her hair and she got her first braids - her hair is getting so long!



Mom and dad were kind enough to give us the cabin for the weekend, and our friends Curt, Kate and William came out to join us. Wa-wa was a recurring theme during the weekend, from the deck pool, to the beach on Protection...



...to a canoe trip out in the harbour...



...to the beach on Newcastle.

Anna and William also explored the upland part of the island, taking the baby for a walk, and enjoying the scooter that we scored from somebodies give-away pile.



And then it was time to head home.


On the way back to the car, we dropped Kate, Curt and William off near the ferry and were surprised by mom and dad showing up. Mom joined us for the boat trip to the car, and she and Anna got some good cuddles and laughs in.


Once home, all that was left to do was unpack the car - a bigger job than you might think!


Thank goodness for roof racks and roof boxes!

Our summer holidays might be over, but we have plenty of great memories and plenty of summer left to enjoy in the city.
