Gräsö

We spent a week up in the archipelago on an island called Gräsö over the 4th of July week.  The weather was not-so-great at the beginning of the week, but luckily it perked up towards the end of the week so we could get in some beach time!

The first night that the weather started clearing, Aaron got some nice pictures of our view!

Our little cabin!

View of Oregrund, a little town across the channel.  The yellow boat that you see was the car ferry that brought us back and forth from Oregrund to Gräsö.

The kids had fun swimming on great beach near our cabin.

Sophia is showing off her swimming skills and, if you didn't catch on, Ben is saying, "I cold!  I take a shower!!"  Funny!

Another Countdown!!

July is a big month!  31 days until we move and only 17 days until Grandma and Grandpa Staloch visit!  We started off the first morning of summer vacation by making our 3rd and final countdown chain to keep track of the 17 days we have left until G&G arrive!

Don't mind the "bedhead" and PJs - we always seem to do projects in the morning :-)

PS.  I almost labeled this post, "The Final Countdown".  Since my last post title was a "School's Out for Summer"...I held off.  Although The Final Countdown is by a Swedish band!!

School's out for Summer!

Yesterday, the kids had their last day of school in Stockholm.  They had a great year, so it was sad to say goodbye.  Thank you, Planet Kids teachers, for a fun year!

And a tribute to everything they did this year...
