As of today, my summer holiday of 5 weeks is ON! \u00a0Finnur’s holding off for three days, so it’ll be me and the kiddos for a little bit, but then we’ll start the annual family stew.<\/p>\n

(Of course, I began the holiday by being bedridden all of Saturday, but thankfully it was mostly a one-day thing.)<\/p>\n

Today we decided to spend the time by visiting the house-animal-and-family park<\/a>, where the\u00a0annual pass we bought last summer was still valid. \u00a0The annual pass is great because included is all-day\u00a0access to all the rides for the whole family, which on low-traffic days (like today) translates to hanging out on the rides, announcing joyfully that yes, we’d like to go again!<\/p>\n

Our partners-in-crime were Adda and her kids. Sadly, I only took a few photos, mostly just enough to remind myself we did something today! (9 images total)<\/p>\n

\"Emma<\/a>

Emma insisted on riding her carousel-horse unassisted and that I get on the horse next to her. I obliged!<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

\"Always<\/a>

Always a crowd favorite, the small “train” which circles the garden. The kids went on their own the first time around, with Bjarki minding Emma.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Waterballing<\/a>

Waterballing was performed.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Segwaying.\"<\/a>

Segwaying like a pro!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Emma<\/a>

Emma liked the American cars, which brought back memories of California (see for example here<\/a>, and here<\/a>, and here<\/a>).<\/p><\/div>\n

\"The<\/a>

The boys!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"We've<\/a>

We have usually left the park before they start offering horse-rides at 2pm, but since Emma’s starting to skip her afternoon nap, we decided to stay longer.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Surprisingly,<\/a>

Surprisingly, Emma was all for being led in a large circle on a real horse. Also surprisingly, I was mostly ok with letting her go on her own.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Emma<\/a>

Emma made it back! With that, we took our leave of the park, and crashed at Adda’s place after overdosing on oxygen.<\/p><\/div>\n
