Autumn Colors at Laugarvatn
[Photos from 01-02 October 2016, posted online 8 January 2017. Whoa, a new month!]
We spent a weekend at the Laugarvatn summer house with Ragnar and Agnes, and their four kids in calm weather.
The kiddos mostly hung out inside some computer world or another, but the mothers did manage to wrangle them outside for a short walk, while the men were out procuring food, as the weather was lovely.
Once we arrived in town on the Sunday, we attended Fannar’s 6th birthday, but only a couple of photos got taken… (36 images total)

Siblings, not terribly happy over being made to go outside.
Three other siblings.
Agnes ready to get this show on the road!
Walking in the topsy turvy grass is hard for little people!
I may have brought my macro lens along…
The light was all kinds of weird.
Afternoon dew everywhere.
Autumn really getting somewhere now.
The big kids had gone some other way, and it apparently took us AGES to get to where they were, judging by the impatient shouting we had to endure!
Laugarvatn-town.
Reunited!
Anna posing.
Second children sharing stories.
Is this where we’re going?
We didn’t really have a plan of where we were going, but then we found the river, and decided to take a closer look.
Be careful going down!
Finnur’s parents’ house a little further up the slope.
Anna found a mini-beach to stand on.
Thus began a terrifying few minutes where all the kids were moments away from certain death if they fell in…
But the water was so good!
The contemplatives.
Agnes standing watch while her crazy friend (me) gallops around with the camera.
Emma. There was somebody standing pretty close to her, I promise!
Bjarki got fed up by all this being-outdoors pretty quickly, and returned home with his partner-in-crime ahead of everybody.
Some time was spent throwing things in the river…
More autumn colors.
Random bridge.
Heading back to the house.
There’s a new house next to our house now, but they don’t make a lot of noise so it’s fine.
Once we got back, we set in motion Operation Take Down the Trampoline for the Winter.
Anna was a great helper as always.
Drying trampoline bits.
Poof! No more trampoline!

The boys were also busy. The next day they put in a new window pane. Very exciting! Then it was time to pack up, and clean house!
Once in town, we went straight to Fannar’s 6th birthday party! I was a lazy auntie and only took this photo of the cake…
… but at least I have a snap-screenshot of the birthday boy thanks to my little brother. 🙂
