Summer starts here

A visit of the Conibear clan from various parts of the world was the catalyst for a few days away from Oslo for a change, first up Vrådal not so far from Oslo really but a good 4 hours or so drive due to the twisting roads. The forecast for the week hadn't been good but besides a rainy journey down it wasn't too bad at all.

A BBQ supper is always part of a summer trip away right?

 

Our livingroom with a view.

Lots of jumping was done, this being one of Mauds favourite pastimes.

 

Whereas eating is probably one of Hennys least favourite pastimes, except when it is icecream naturally.

Plenty of wildlife for us city types to see out in the country too, absolutely no idea what this actually is though.

This is a snake, that i know.

This is an ever popular pastime too.

Boat trip.
A quick trip on MS Fram

Sticks and water, i could probably have left them there for hours.

Midsummer celebrations

It was then on to the next stop just outside of Sandifjord, lucky we hired a minibus eh.

Where... there was a beach, for kite flying....

sitting about....

 

sandcastle making

and in the evening another midsummer celebration, even tough it no longer actually was.
