It was “our week” at the summer house Finnur owns with his siblings, so to the summer house by Laugarvatn we went! \u00a0With us were Adda and Halli, plus kids, and a lovely time was had by all (we hope). \u00a0We visited a small petting zoo for the first time, there was more jogging, and on the way back, we stopped at various places to hunt Pokemons.

\"Stocking<\/a>

Back to the beginning… \u00a0Stocking up on drinks and cookies\/crackers\/biscuits for the drive to the summer house. Those are doled out every 15 minutes if the kids behave themselves.<\/p><\/div>\n

Emma needed to pee so we had an extra good excuse to stop by the lookout point over \u00deingvellir.<\/p><\/div>\n
