Camping!

Camping was an interesting experience with the kids :-)  We are pretty sure that we woke the entire camp ground up at 4:45 a.m. the first morning.  Ben woke up screaming and Sophia decided to join in.  We escaped to Arboga, the little town we were camping by, before most of the other campers woke up for the morning...maybe they wouldn't think it was us making all of the noise?  It's pretty difficult to make kids sleep in a tent when it is sunny at odd hours of the night - no room darkening shades in there!  The days are getting shorter here, but it is still light at 10 p.m. and then again around 3 a.m. or so.

Despite lack of sleep, we had a great time!  We swam, hiked, played baseball and, of course, went to the park.  

The lake we swam in was much warmer than the Baltic!






We went hiking until it started to storm...and we kept running into snakes!

Sophia was a good hiker...

...but she preferred this kind of hiking instead:

Ben enjoyed his ride during the hike too


Finally, a little baseball...


...before going to bed
