Vacation!
It might come as a shock to some of you but having a kid requires a lot of preparation before hitting the road. Gone are the days of impulse trips. Here are the days of loading up a diaper bag, cooler full of milk, baby bed, stroller, etc...
Last weekend we made our first overnight trip since March! We hit the road and drove to the Detroit Lakes area to visit Ericka's brother and his family. Mathias traveled very well. We did the 4 hour trip with merely one pit stop in each direction at the terrific Jitters Java Cafe in Sauk Centre for milk and ice cream. Mathias slept most of the way and was generally a content traveler. While at the lake Mathias wasn't hurting for attention as he was being doted on almost around the clock by loving aunts, uncles, and cousins.
It was a sweltering weekend at the lake and while Mathias stayed in the air conditioned environment the rest of us took turns hitting the waters. It was a blast! Ericka got introduced to the fine art of tubing and I attempted water skiing.
I'm sure it is a matter a few short years before Mathias will be following in his father's footsteps.
Aaaahhhh Summer!!

Det ser bra ut!
Ni har sommar ni med och ni växer och frodas. Hoppas att ni har det bra och att vi kan höras snart.
Det är härligt att se Ert lilla underverk och tänka tillbaka på det som varit.
Jag blir lika tårögd ännu.
Men låt honom inte dyka med tuber ännu va?!!! Han kan väl få fridyka först.....

I didn't see Mathias on a tube! What's up with that?
oops, the above is from Lydia!
Hej där!
Härliga bilder på er alla, vi längtar tillbaka till er. Visst är det härligt med sommar, vi har haft en ljuvlig tid och jag hoppas att det fortsätter mina 5 veckors ledighet. Bra att ni tränar Mathias på små resor så att ni snart kan komma till Ålberga och leka med mina barn-barn, ha det gott hälsa alla. Kram från Birgit& comp.
Hej!
Wow, så härligt ni ser ut att ha det!!! Vilken perfekt semesterresa! Underbart att se Mathias växa och utvecklas!
Här hemma börjar semestern närma sig slutet - jag börjar jobba den 10:e och Mathias den 7:e. Men vi har haft en lång skön sommar med massor av sol och bad. Lucas och till viss del även Niclas är bruna som pepparkakor. De håller på och bygger en jättefin koja hos mormor och morfar - så just nu håller de på att hämta mer brädor här hemma.
Ha det så bra och ta hand om er!
Kram Åsa, Mathias, Niclas och Lucas
