A wonderful weekend

With all the rain we have had lately, we finally had some sunshine, although it was a little wet on Saturday as we headed over to some of our friends for a Swedish-American get together, but that did not stop Bjorn and I from going outside to chase the chickens, play in the big playhouse and of course ride a little jeep we found on the yard : - )

The best about these get togethers with the other Swedish moms and dads is that we all have a chance to share about our experiences as Swedish parents, but also use our language around our children, share our traditions with them. I think it really helps Bjorn learn more Swedish by hearing it from someone other than me.



Bjorn chasing the chickens : - )


Time to maker dinner...


Funny, no matter where we are, he always finds the vehicles...hehehehe


ON the lookout for more chickens and a really big dog!



On Sunday the weather was fantastic, we had sunshine and very warm weather (30+ Celsius), we went to the Great Falls Balloon festival, an Air balloon festival over in Lewiston, we did not see any air balloons at the festival, but Laura and Bjorn had seen them fly over our house on Friday morning and also this morning when they went out for a ride to get some things. As much as I am scared of heights, it looks like it would be so much fun to do.


Bjorn on his very first amusement park ride - all by himself!!

2nd ride today - had to ride with Pappa since there were no seat belts on this ride.


He loves riding Thomas the Train, and of course, his firemen boots : - )
