Kids enjoying a sunny day in Fuengirola

Kids and grandma keep having a great time in Spain. Grandma is probably worn out and 5 years older but she collects bonus point by the kids and I can tell they're bonding like never before. Oliver says he miss home but still like Spain very much. Kevin loves being away. Not surprised by any of it. 

Today there was speed on the schedule. Meaning they were in heaven!

Lucky kids

Two happy kids called from Spain this morning when eating breakfast on the balcony looking out on the blue sky bragging about how mild weather it was there. We're so jealous! 

Today they went shopping and help carry the groceries home. Helping grandma was one of the conditions to come along. So far I believe they're doing great. 

Time on the beach is always fun! 

Oliver & Kevin on their lives trip

Weeks ago the kids got the question if they could be good boys, behaving well and wanted to come along with grandma to their apartment in Fuengirola, Malaga, Spain. Of course they said yes. Then we as parents got the question....and of course we want to support our boys to get experience with travelling and visit other cultures. I've been fortunate to be able to travel all my life and there's nothing in the world that has given me as much as taking responsible for my self when travelling combined with seeing the world. So it's such an opportunity for our boys. Daniel is more careful but we both think it's a fantastic opportunity. I'm not sure grandma knows what she has got herself into. But she's an adult and I trust she's mentally prepared. 

So tonight we said goodbye to them and first message from the globetrotters was from the Airport Lounge! Travelling in style!! Good on them. 

Daniel and I did some cleaning before doing something we never do....on our backs watching tv!!! Not really comfortable doing nothing but my mission is to get really bored so that I appreciate the constant action when the kids are back home next week. 

JUMP

One of the many perfect Xmas gifts to the boys was a day at JUMP with grandma and grandpa in Malmö. A big hall with jumping equipment everywhere! Our active athletic boys loved this!
Thank You for a perfect gift!

Xmas 2016

Xmas this year was spent at our place with close family. Daniels brother with family and parents and mum and Klasen was with us. This year the REAL Santa came by! Ones in a lifetime the real Santa have time to visit. This year he had time for us!
A very nice Xmas with happy kids and too much food! But first Xmas without grandpa and my dad which was very sad.

Making Cancles @ Hallongården

Oliver was jealous when I went to make candles the other week so when I read that they offered a drop-in today for everyone who want to make their own candles for Xmas. So we dragged along grandma and had a super nice day together. I wasn't surprized that Oliver did very well as the handyman he is!

New wardrobe

Daniel have been shaping up fine and have been  complaining about everybody else being so well dressed so I had to give him some outfits for his birthday. We had a fantastic day with clothes to Daniel in focus and we found many nice outfits for him (and some shoes happened to jump in my shopping bag as well) But we're both extremely happy those full-days shopping happens about every 10th year!!
