Family weekend

Have been rather busy this last few days. Friday I got to go to the amusement park here in Stockholm (Gröna Lund) with my sister Maria, her boys and Linus and his brother Alfred. We had a very enjoyable day with sunshine, warmth, and not too much of a crowd. I rode both stuff like the catapult (upp 65m i 5 secs and then some bouncing up and down) and more contemplative like the ferris wheel. Olle and Alfred got along very well and iut was a very enjoyable day of introducing Linus to that part of my family. Afterwards we were knackered. We had dinner with my parents (dekicious) and watched some old family movies that have recently been converted to DVD-format. Alot of mee as very young swimming around. Extremely cute ;).
Saturday we went to Marias new house in Knivsta north of here to visite and spend the night. The house was lovely with great big windows and situated amidst the greenery so that sitting indoors was almost like beeing outside. We walked around the area which is very quaint with a nice variation of houses. They live very close to a lake and we went to their local beach and I finally got my summer swim in Sweden. Very refreshing. We had creyfish and quiches for dinner and played Trivial Pursuit. I didn't win :(.
Yesterday we celebrated my niece's 13th birthday with a big family party. Nice food and nice company. Stayed on afterwards and got to spend some time with my brothers and my other niece Sara.
