We also had other things on our to-do list, like the yearly shopping trip to Ullared! We ended up going... on one of the hottest days of the summer... *Duh*.
We thought that maybe most other people would be away enjoying the hot weather, buuuuut, it seemed like many others had the same thought we did - and sought out the cooler temperatures inside the big shop. So many people! We were still in good spirits though - especially Linnea, this is really one of her favourite days of the summer! Here we are, ready to rock!
Even though I managed to loose our cart (yes...) at one stage, and only found it again after we had already picked up all the items again, argh, we had a successful day. Linnea got "lots of stuff", and Lucas got his gaming keyboard that he wanted. It was about 300 SEK cheaper here than anywhere else he had seen it!
Cute flower pots!
After mission complete we sought out our overnight spot for the night, as per tradition by the nature reserve at Sumpafallen. We went down to the rapids, and as it was so warm, the kids decided to go for a swim. We had to share our spot with the sheep, but they weren't too intrusive.
Spot "Näcken" (The water spirit), ha ha!
Before we tucked ourselves in for the night, we sat outside and had dinner in the enclosed sheep pasture, and even played some cards while enjoying the sunset. Bliss.
The kids got to share the top bunk this year, while us grown-ups slept below. The kids really enjoy these overnights, Lucas let out a "Detta är sååå mysigt Mormor" (=This is so cosy), while she was making up all the beds.
Driving home the next day it was hot, hot, hot in the truck, the thermometer showed about 34 degrees!
