Day #7 in Sweden: Visiting Friends & Second Beach Trip
[Photos from Sunday 17 July 2016, posted online 4 August 2016. Two posts in one night? It’s really late…]
On this lovely Sunday, we went and visited our friends, Stina & Tommi. (Yes, this is the same Stina that Anna and I went to watch sing a few night earlier.)
Afterwards, we decided to try the ‘other’ beach in our town, and the kids had fun splashing around for a bit, while Finnur went grocery shopping. (23 images total)

They live in a big house, and were babysitting this lovely piano for a friend of theirs. Anna decided to play with it for a bit.

Kids impatiently waiting for Tommi to fill up some waterballoons, using a fancy gizmo.
Oh, the joy!

The kids decimated the balloons in no time!
Meanwhile, Anna tried to figure out a melody.
Cool ball!
Cooperation is key. Bjarki filling up a container with water, for the squirt gun.
Next stop: The walkway to the second beach. Pictured: Exasperated mom as Bjarki yet again steals my phone, and starts doing who knows what on it! Also, Anna hugs Emma.

This beach was a lot more secluded than the one we’d visited previously. There were a few people there when we arrived, but they took off a little later, as the beach fell further into shadow from large trees.
This beach had a line with buyos marking the shallow kid-safe water.

Anna, getting her pants wet. Happily, Finnur would be bringing dry clothes for her when he picked us up!
Not a bad place to live.
This water is fresh, not salty!
Idyllic.
