Summer House

On Wednesday evening, we traveled an hour outside of Stockholm to the von Perner's summer house for a couple of days.

Obviously, we had a fika when we arrived.

The next morning, we ate breakfast then Gunilla and I went to a small store five minutes down the road to pick up some things for the other meals. When we got back, we got ready to work. The goal of the day was to chop up wood from a couple trees they cut down prior to our trip.

Karla, Henrik's girlfriend, came as well!

For lunch, Gunilla made waffles outside.

My mini waffle from the remaining batter.

After lunch, they were some toys that Karla and I drove under Hinrik and Johan's supervision.

Oh look, the nice boyfriend is coming to help...no his is taking a video and dying of laughter.

After goofing around, we got back to work before we had an Easter egg hunt!

My Easter egg!

It was filled with all organic, no added sugar goodies.

For dinner, we all had our duties. Gunilla made the salad, Johan grilled, Henrik made the potatoes, and Karla and I made the fruit salad for dessert.

Friday morning, we woke up early to go on an adventure. Well, a small adventure. We went for a walk on a trail by the water and in the woods. The weather wasn't great outside however, it was still really pretty.

We stopped at local restaurant for brunch.

Johan thought it would be funny to bring bread to the table because I couldn't eat it.

But on Easter, he is going to see if he can go forty days with out bread too!

When we got back to the house, we relaxed. I read my book and honestly, I have no idea what the others did...but my book was really good.

We then colored Easter eggs! I colored the Swedish and American flag on mine!

Gunilla's flowers.

Karla's owl.

Henrik's world where it shows the power of the country by it's size so Sweden was way bigger than America.

With our colored Easter eggs, we had an egg competition. The first person threw a small ball, then everyone rolled their eggs down the slope and whoever was the closest to the small ball received five points and whoever was the farthest away received one point.

Gunilla was taking photos with her camera and as she moved in closer to get a shot of the eggs with all our feet, she stepped on Karla's egg and cracked it. Johan said we should deduct points from her roll.

'Merica

Gunilla came in first place, I came in second, Karla third, Henrik fourth, and Johan last.

The first and second place winners decided to go on a bike ride to the Church.

To end our trip, we played memory on our last night.

The couple days we spent at the summer house were a lot of fun. It was perfect that we went just when I moved in because it was a great bonding time!
