Summer House
Finnur and his four siblings inherited a summer house by Laugarvatn from their grandfather. Each sibling gets every fifth week (swaps allowed) and this weekend was ours. We invited Guðrún and Snorri to tag along, and in return they kindly agreed to ferry a couple of huge boxes containing a large trampoline in their jeep.
The trampoline boxes had to be inside Gudrun's and Snorri's jeep, which meant there was no space left for Baldur. He therefore got a ride in our car! Here Anna and Baldur are busy playing Yatzee.
Saturday morning: Finnur busy mowing the lawn where the trampoline would be. See how green everything is?! It's summer! 🙂
Swelling-check, while squinting into the sun. And yes, I wear glasses - just very rarely.
Trampoline box open. Finnur READING THE MANUAL?!?!
Ballgame.
Everybody working hard.
Bragi by a ball.
Soon, the circle will be complete! 🙂
Bragi a little boxed in.
As the manly men worked hard, it started raining.
Those last few springs are never fun.
Taking a small break inside, waiting for the rain to pass.
Kiddos on the porch.
Safety net poles going up.
Aaaand finally, the trampoline was ready! 🙂
There was a leg of lamb for dinner, with a fruity dessert. Yum! 🙂
Kids eating dessert. 🙂
After the kids were asleep, we played a few games, including this Home-Made Settlers of Catan. Yes, I kid you not, Finnur's sisters made their own Settlers of Catan complete with wooden roads and all! I'll admit that playing it was a wee bit confusing though...!
The Guðrúns left early the next morning to catch the Independence Day festivities in the city. We on the other hand didn't leave until well past noon and completely missed all festivities. Oh well, maybe next year...
One of the reasons for our late departure: Finnur painting the underside of the roof! He did well though. 🙂
