August Finished Off at Laugarvatn
[Christmassy things eat up evenings like there’s no tomorrow, so there’s been little to no blogging. This happened on a lovely 30 and 31 August weekend but is being chronicled on 14 DECEMBER 2014. At least it’s still the same year!]
We had the Laugarvatn summerhouse to ourselves on the last weekend of August, and invited Solla and Gunni to tag along. There were no big plans besides playing games and enjoying life. I think we succeeded! (Side note: This was the weekend where the Holuhraun eruption began, and as of this being written, it’s still chugging along.)
(It should be noted that we got to know Solla and Gunni through reading their blog while they lived in Santa Barbara, and we had just moved to Palo Alto. We met them once in Los Angeles, and then bumped into each other when our eldest daughters started taking weekly English lessons in Iceland on Saturdays after we moved back. Serendipity!)
Let there be photos! (19 images total)

‘Computer time’ always beats the ‘real world’.
It doesn’t help when the big sisters don’t want to give up the trampoline.
Fun times!
Bjarki busy being Not Happy after being forced out of ‘computer world’ against his will. Again!
Parenting is hard.
Ze moms! Bjarki insisted on taking photos. Who am I to say no?
The world according to Bjarki.
Thank you, camera.
Meanwhile, on the trampoline. Solla and Gunni brought with them an extra chickling, who was no bother at all.
Emma demanding a rescue.
Dinner approaching readiness. Yum!

The Adorables!
Fun times!
Gunni about to cook up some lovely real bacon from the Polish meat shop for lunch.
Peace reigns on the trampoline for once!
Anna fetching socks?!
All good things must come to an end. Solla and Gunni had an engagement in town, so they left soon after lunch.
Loading up the car.
We stayed on a little longer, and arrived in town around dinner time.
Thus endeth August! And the next day I went to work for the first time at Marel!
