Sweden Part II - Jamtland 'Water'

One of the things that we really look forward to when we travel to Jamtland, is to be able to get out on the water, and preferable in farfar's boat. We managed a couple of trips this year. One with the entire Eliasson/Eriksson gang, and the other with all of the Eliasson's and one Eriksson (Frans).

The first trip out was a lovely relaxed meander out on the river, for a bit of fishing. It's always fun to help farfar stear the boat.


The boys took turns fishing, and although we didn't catch a couple of Oring to have for dinner, we had a nip, which was enough to make everyone look forward to the next time.



On the second trip out, we stopped in at Lit's camping where Anna and Frans played in the water and sand, and enjoyed a picnic.

Filling and re-filling buckets never gets old.

And neither does another cup of coffee!

Icecream!

It's good to have a construction project manager around when you need to build a dam and a man-made river.

Heading back home.

Patrik also had a chance to get out on the water with Hogge in his boat. Just as when the boys went fishing, Patrik also had a bite, but it also got away. But the catching of actual fish was secondary to just being out on the water together and catching up.


Another popular bit of water on the trip was the pool at farmor and farfar's house. Anna, Hugo, Viggo and Frans had so much fun running in and out of the pool, and the boys taught Anna some new tricks. Below, Kevin is being sensible in the chilly weather and staying out of the pool, while Anna (with her extra insulation) thought that the weather was just perfect for a dip.

Anna also had a great time helping Malin and Frans get their wee boat ready to take out for a sail.


Stay tuned for Part III, where we keep our feet firmly planted on land.
