Horse Camp Photo Essay and Daycare Closes Early
[Photos taken on Friday 07 July 2017, posted online on 23 October 2017. Finnur’s in the UK.]
I asked Anna to send me snaps of her last day at horse camp, and she sent me a whole photo-essay!
This was also the day that Emma’s daycare closed down at 1 pm for a four (4!!) week long summer holiday. Not having much to do, we decided to go visit Finnur/daddy at his office, and hang out at the beach by his workplace before fetching the big kids from camp.
The day ended with Bjarki getting a haircut, and us packing for our trip to France the morning after. (40 images total)
Anna snapchatted her day to me. It began with “This is what I’ve been doing for the past four weeks.”
“Arrive at 9.”
“Fetch the horses.”
“Comb Svali.”
“Eldór with a cool hairdo.”
“Fetch a saddle from the pile.”
“Moved my saddle to the side.”
“Put the saddle on and tighten.”
“Tightened.”
“Put my helmet on.”
“Fetch a whisk.”
“Fastened the ….”
“Helping.”
“Going out on a ride.”
“Eat lunch with the kids and watch a movie.”
“The horses go eat lunch, and fetched again at 1. Repeat combing, saddling, etc and go out on a ride, or go play games, ride bareback, or watch a movie.”
Meanwhile, in my world, Emma’s daycare shut down at 1 pm, for summer vacation was upon us!

Not having much to do, we went to visit daddy at his office.
The view from his building.
Outside, Emma got to pet a random dog.
Daddy was too busy with his last day of work to join us at Nauthóll, the restaurant by his office.
Nice view!
Never a dull moment.
Our concoctions arrived!
After eating our fill, we walked down to the artificial beach, where we hung out for a bit.
It was a nice day!

… sea foam?
About time to go fetch the big kids.
When we arrived, it looked like all of the horses had already been taken to their pasture.
Approaching the horses, a bit sad over missing the opportunity to sit on one of them.

Anna saying goodbye to Svali (I think).
As luck would have it, there happened to still be a few horses by the house when we arrived there.
On horseback! Finally!
On horse #2!
… aaand horse #3!
After all this horsing around, I took Bjarki to the hairdressers for a trim!
Freshly cut!
Thus our summer vacation officially began!
