On the train going to Dalarna to
drop off the kids at Grandma's.
Looking out at the views passing
the window.
Inside the compartment.
Elin saw a huge rainbow late at
night and Kat took a shot of it. Can you see there are two of them?
And just after she fell asleep
next to Erik.
Aaaah, morning lights.
Kitty and Bonnie are awake and checking the views.
Summer!! Now where is Ronny....
"RONNYYYYY!!! Wake u-u-p!!"
Ronny is sleeping like a baby...
"yaaaawn" Ronny wakes up and tries to get the sleep out
of his eyes.
"What's up?? " "Well, we are soon in Gävle and
there we are getting off the train!"
Sightseeing in Dalarna
A day trip to Borlänge. That is
the next town from Kat's folks.
We went shopping and had a Hot Dog and some
chips.
"I recognize that!!" Bonnie looks happy when she sees the McDonald's
signs.
This is Kupolen - a big shopping and sports centre where they also have
Miss Universe contests and concerts.
Stora Tuna Kyrka. Sweden's - or
at least Dalarna's highest country church. It's beautiful!
... and HIGH!!
Looking out over a stream close
to the central of Borlänge!
Here we are going into a park. Kat wanted to see if she
remembered where the fresh water well was. We never found it...
"Domarringen".
This is an ancient court yard!
The rock has a bronze plate with old text inprinted as well as an
inscription on the rock itself. It tells why it's there and when it was
raised - a looong time ago!
A suspension bridge crossing the creek above.
In Grandma's Garden
Grandpa Bertil is putting some
seeds and nuts into the bird feeder. Same model as Kat has - Daddy made
both!
Kitty sits on the roof watching him.
We are waiting to see who gets
here first...
Look! A squirrel!! They were a couple that
came here fighting over the nuts. They are so cute!
Exploring the surroundings of
Grandma's house.
HEY! There is Ronny!!
Bonnie and Kitty climbed up the
pond wall to check what Ronny was doing.
He was sailing around this pond...
... with the sunlight casting shadows from the branches
of the pine above.
"AAaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
What's up now?? Bonnie started screaming and just burst away from the pond
in such a haste she almost fell on her knees!
Oh, there is something behind the bushes! Kitty doesn't
look too frightened.
"Ease down!!" Kitty shouts after Bonnie. "He is not
dangerous!"
Bonnie doesn't believe Kitty and runs away in fear.
"Bonnie!! Come meet him!"
"This is Charlie, our pet Croc who thinks he is a Gecko!"
"Giddy-up... arrrgghhh you are so SLOW!!! Go faster,
Charlie!"
