September Gatherings

The first two weekends in September involved a lot of people gatherings. There was a birthday, an unusually social Pokemon Go event, rarely-seen-uncle festivities, and dinner with friends.

In between, Finnur kept working on the eternal back-yard wall, and the weather kept being nice but chilly, so we began buying winter shoes. (30-ish images total)

That afternoon we had the pleasure of attending the birthday party of one of the cousins.
Singing time!
The mother of the house directing a fun game in the distance.
Finnur, still working away at the wall in the backyard, but finally nearing completion.

Sisters dancing adorably. (Wait for animated gif to load)
Emma at the mall. I’m pretty sure we went there to buy her winter shoes, as the only shoes she had that fit her were the sandals from Colorado.

At daycare after closing, taking advantage of the nice biking surface, and super nice (albeit not very warm) weather.

Saturday 8 September 2018

This Saturday morning there was a new form of Pokemon event. The local players had worked out a plan for people to follow to work together to get a rather rare figure. It was good fun! This is the group by Höfði.
We then moved to the sea-side.
Our group!
This is such a fun piece of art! It’s called Þúfa.
Trying to shield from the cold northern wind.
I next took a photo by a seaside in the west part of town.
Romantic car journeys are the best!
Art on a door.
Next stop: The Pearl.
The last stop that morning. It’s on the playground by Kjarvalsstaðir.
That afternoon we went to my aunt’s place to meet up with the family as my uncle was in Iceland, which doesn’t happen very often.
There was lots of tempting food.
Finnur and Anna digging in.
The four siblings just barely managed to squeeze into a sofa with their mom (my grandma) for a group photo.
The youngsters hung out mostly in the green-house that my grandma started.
The grapes are always popular with the kids.
Time for dessert!
Tasty!
Post-desert chatting, as digestive systems were kicking into high gear!
The kiddos on the move.
Bjarki found a nice spot.

Finnur washing the back-yard wall to prepare for the top stones. Exciting!
This image is to remind myself that Emma’s room can look relatively tidy. (That’s not the current status!)
We went to Sigga’s and Mario’s for dinner. The view from their kitchen is amazing.
The view. Always so pretty!
A literal candy cake for dessert! O.M.G.!!
