Family Outings
[Written 14 AUGUST 2014. In a galaxy far, far away…]
Passing time was the order of the week between our US visitors leaving, and Finnur’s summer holiday booting up again.
Since Emma naps in the afternoons, I mostly needed to figure out stuff to do in the mornings. (The afternoons were mostly Emma (and I) snoring while the big kids played on the computers.) (13 images total)
Wednesday 16 July 2014 – Laugardalur Family Park
At the family park in Laugardalur. I bought an annual pass, so the whole family can go whenever, and use all the equipment as much as we want. Of course, Emma’s favorite equipment of the day was this uninflated trampoline. Puddles are endlessly fun!
Emma _drinking_ the water in the puddles. Oh, joy!
The big kids shooting some tennis balls at moving targets.
The endlessly popular waterballs. There was only one going at a time, which made it somewhat less fun.
Anna’s ball being inflated.
“Walking” on water!
Thursday 17 July 2014 – Lágafellslaug
We finally made it to the Lágafellslaug swimming pool in Mosfellsbær (affectionately dubbed “Mos Eisley” by the US-ers), after trying for several weeks. It was fun!
Friday 18 July 2014 – Laugardalur Family Park
It was a rainy morning, but we decided to visit the family park again anyway (no lines!!) because it was such a hit two days before! Here’s Bjarki on his twentieth fall-tower turn.
Fall-tower attendant. Probably wishing time passed faster.
Two waterballs are more fun than one!
We somehow managed to rope Guðrún and family to join us. Here Guðrún’s riding on a boat with her littlest one.
Anna and two other kids circling each other on the boats. Emma really enjoyed sailing too!
