Family invasion II

Long time, no blog entry. We apologise for that!

Since the last entry Dave's mum and sister has been here for a visit. They came on Thursday and left Monday and as always the days went by too fast.

They arrived in the afternoon on Thursday so we didn't have time to do much, but both Joyce and I got a haircut at least. Elias was very kind to his dad and slept the whole time I was at the hairdresser. After that we went to Joyce's and Juliet's hotel where they checked in and Dave and I got to open loads of presents for Elias. Everyone are so kind!!

On Friday Sweden celebrated "Midsummer" so basically everything was shut and Uppsala felt a bit like a ghost town. Most people tend to go out to the countryside for midsummers where they gather a group of friends and eat and drink loads. We walked around in town and looked at all the closed shops before going back to our place for lunch and some Elias-watching. For some reason it never gets boring to look at the boy...



While Joyce and Juliet was here we managed to play quite a few rounds of "Categorically speaking", give Elias his second bath and see some traditional dancing around the midsummer pole. Unfortunatelly the weather was pretty crap so we couldn't go for a nice picknic like we had hoped.
