By the sea-shore
Anna got a nasty stomach bug on Thursday (Bjarki had gotten it on Monday). We therefore didn’t do much for a couple of days but on the Saturday we went to my mom’s (who’d already gotten it).
While we were there, my brother Pétur (i.e. Peter) was heading to band-practice so I decided to drive him and take the kids to explore the sea-side (aka waiting out the World Cup).
I had the 50mm lens on the camera, and Pétur gave it a go while in the car.
Our destination was a rather large building by the sea-shore. A part of it is called 'Hellirinn' ('The Cave') where bands can rent out a practice space.
Anna went inside with Pétur, while Bjarki and I followed. Here Anna is coming out again complaining that there was loud music being played...
Pétur plugging in his base. We listened to his band play for a few minutes (through the closed door because it was LOUD!!) before heading out...
We walked past a few boats... and Bjarki immediately started asking to go to them. I said no because I was looking for a store that sells tents - which used to be close by.
We walked onto the lot of a trailer-store. Bjarki wanted to explore this one a little better.
Bjarki really enjoyed exploring all the different trailers, and their hooks. He's sooo male!
As it turned out, the store had moved, so we crossed the road and started heading back towards the boats.
It was a lovely warm-ish still day. This is Mount Esja.
The kids spent a shocking amount of time hanging out by this fence that surrounded the boats. They kept busy putting stones through the fence, and moving stones about and... just played with stones!
Some flowers.
The wall leading to the sea. These tanks are probably use to store oil.
Bjarki makes one last attempt to reach the boats.
Bjarki found some concrete boxes a little further along, sat down in one, and contemplated his existence.
It fit him just fine.
While we were by the fence, this dog came running for Bjarki, and licked his face repeatedly before he got called off. The dog was only a puppy, and only had one baby-tooth left, but it left a couple of marks on Bjarki's cheek. Luckily he didn't break the skin, but Bjarki was a little shocked.
Fröken Anna.
Grabbing some seeds.
Siblings.
We picked up Pétur and made a quick stop to look at the dry-dock.
