Glorious Weekend!
[Photos from 13 June 2015. Blogged on 15 June. When will it end?]
This weekend we actually had good weather. Both days had clear skies, but the Sunday was noticeably warmer than Saturday. We are fortunate enough to have a patio that is sheltered from most wind directions, so we had a pretty sweet time on both days!
Both days were busy, here are photos from the Saturday, where we put up a tent, attended a birthday, and hosted two of my brothers plus entourage for hot tubbing, and a dinner. Yes, this marked the first time we used the hot tub this year. Golly! (18 images total)
Shortly before lunchtime Anna suggested we put the tent up, so we did!
Shortly thereafter I posted a photo from this collection to Facebook, remarking just how NICE it was outside (for once). Less than an hour later we then took off for a birthday party. Little did I know that my post lured in one set of friends (who were shopping nearby), and also prompted another friend to call and ask if we were available. Since I hate disappointing people, my takeaway will probably be to either post photos like this only if we’re available for the remainder of the day, or post them once the weather has passed and the wind a rain has started up again!
At the party where there was a bouncy castle!
Enjoying some sun in the cold breeze on the patio.
This was a ‘family’ party held directly after the daycare kids had already been and gone! Ríkey is a master decorater!
Time flies!
TV time while the kids waited for food to be served.
Eyrún getting sung for.
Pffft!
Smiles all around!
Time to dole out some food!
Present-opening time, while some of the adults attempt to catch a few sun-rays.
Emma happy after putting a nose-stiker on the clown.
We went home around 4 pm to receive Pétur, Signý and Fannar. We were unaware Pétur was in town (surprise!) but if anybody has CGI work they need done this summer, he’s your man. Bjarni also showed up once he heard there’d be food! I totally failed at taking photos because I was busy hot-tubbing (oh the agony) and then BBQ-ing bits of meat that were way too big, but I think a good time was had by all!
The camera was on a dodgy setting, so what few photo were taken were all blurry.
Eating hastily cooked meat. It was pretty good though!
The meat certainly shed a lot of juice! (Note the daylight, this is taken at 8 pm)
We finished off the day by watching The Neverending Story. Bjarki was pretty scared during the scary parts, and Anna made lots of jaded comments, but then whooped with joy when things went well. All in all it went down well.
