First Summerhouse Visit of the Year
[Written 30 May 2013]
Emma left the capital area for the first time in her living life this weekend. We decided to go for a one-night stay-over in the summerhouse Finnur co-owns with his four siblings, because we only get three weekends over the summer, and this was the first one.
We invited Holla and Óli to come along and I think (hope!) everybody had a fun time! 🙂
We arrived around 1 pm on the Saturday, after Bjarki had gone to his gym practice and Anna participated in yet another swim meet that morning. The house was pretty chilly, so one of the first things we did was start a fire. The kids were mesmerized…
Me and Emma, in our fleece jackets, waiting for warmth to arrive. I believe that’s a size 1 year Carter’s jacket…
Holla cuddling her youngest.
I went out for a short walk to deposit some ice-cream into the freezer in the summerhouse “next door”, which belongs to Finnur’s parents. (There’s no freezer where we were.)
This little chickling came with me (strapped to my front), but wasn’t very fond of the cold blistery wind that was blowing.
Finnur making gravy, as per usual. He’s wearing his grandfather’s old fleece, which always brings back memories.
This has been a pretty chilly spring, so there’s not a whole lot of green going on yet, but it’s coming…
Yet another yummy dinner! We found a guestbook in the house, and an entry from 1997 (or was it 1995?) with the same guests, minus the kids. How time flies! 🙂
