Our First US Visitors!
[Written 19 JULY 2014. Because there was a huge backlog. Sorry Stella!]
Early Sunday morning, our good US friends, Sarah and Augusto, arrived in Iceland from California with their two children. I went out to the airport to pick them up, we fed them, and then shooed them into bed for a quick nap.
A couple of hours later, Sarah’s parents, Stella and Walter, also arrived, and this time Finnur went and picked them up from the airport. He dropped them off at his parents’ place, where they would be staying while Finnur’s parents were traveling. (Finnur’s parents are awesome like that!)
Thus began two weeks of fun-ness, and a great time was had by all!
Being a total trooper, Sarah’s already begun blogging about their trip, see the Trip to Iceland, and the First Day, so I guess now it’s my turn.
As it happened, Finnur worked through their first week here, so I was responsible for our three kiddos. This left me somewhat mentally and physically drained (it’s like herding cats!), so I didn’t take a whole lot of photos, and the few I took were mostly on my cell phone. Sorry!! (But Augusto took a ton, so watch their blog if interested.)
So here goes! (26 images total)
Sunday 29 June 2014 – Arrival and Salalaug Swimming Pool
While our guests slept, we did our best to keep the house quiet. The big kids were engrossed in their computers, Finnur was out on an airport run, so that left Emma and me. The weather was nice so I used the opportunity to visit the playground of her daycare-to-be (now closed for the summer holiday). I also took her to this tiny playground adjacent to it. She was very happy there, although she had a hard time understanding why she couldn’t just go up the slide once she’d gone down it.
