A summer update

Yes I'm still here, I guess July wasn't the month for me to blog. It's been crazy hot here for so long, I can't remember a summer this hot, and at times really humid, though hardly ever any rain. 

The great weather combined with 2 weeks off from work, well that just kept me off the computer, not like totally isolated, still checked my mail, facebook and instagram, and read blogs, but I didn't have the energy to blog.

I still haven't bothered to move the pictures from our camera to the computer, so you will have to do with cell phone pictures. On Thursday before our vacation my parents picked up Jonas, and took him home, so he could go on vacation by himself. He loved it, and was really excited to go. He was riding his bike in the driveway, when my dad opened the trunk of their car. That was his clue to run inside get his suitcase and jump in the car... my dad only opened the trunk to put something in there, then weren't about to leave. So for next 20 minutes Jonas sat in the car calling my mum and dad:)

There were no pool at my parents, but this seemed to work just as well:)

We also went camping for a few days. Well we rented a small cabin on a camp site, and our neighbours had their caravan at the same place. We had a couple of really nice days, but honestly camping is not on my top list of vacation types. We had a toilet in the cabin, but no shower, which almost freaked me out, well mostly because of my broken foot, and showering with a broken foot isn't easy. Though by the time we went camping my foot was a lot better, and I could remove the dressing so I could shower.

The Canoe ride with my brother

We had a few BBQ, Frank's sister and boyfriend came over, we went for a BBQ at Franks parents. And we went to Legoland with my parents, Franks parents and my brother. It was a really nice day, but way too hot, but Jonas loved showing everything of to them all. 

He was a fast learner, my brother told him where to put his hand and he thought it was so funny.

Saying goodbye in the parking lot

I went back to work last weekend, and this last week has been busy. Though yesterday we did have a chance to visit the harbour, where the Tall Ship Races 2014 were visiting. I must say there were some really impressive ships there.

So all in all a busy summer, I will try to get back in the rhythm of things, and blog a bit more regular.

Last day of my vacation...

Today is my last day of my vacation, now it's only the weekend left before I start work again. Though the weather today has been pretty good, not super sunny and hot, but sunny and warm enough to sit outside without wearing a sweater or a jacket. 

So Jonas and I were outside, Jonas decided to do a little gardening, he mowed the lawn... or well he used his lawn mower, but didn't really go much out on the grass. 

I enjoy that he is so big now that he can actually entertain himself for shorter periods of time. So I sat in my chair and did a little crocheting, while watching him take care of the garden:)

 Hope you all will have a wonderful weekend.

Summer is here:)

Well summer has arrived. So far the whole week it has been bright and sunny, and I have started to tan a little. 

On Monday my parents came to visit and we went to the zoo, of course we didn't bring a camera, but here is a picture of Jonas and the goats from when we went with the daycare in the middle of June (it was raining therefore the rain suit). We had fun in the zoo and afterwards we went to a fish restaurant for lunch.

Yesterday and today we have been relaxing, enjoying the nice weather. Though today it has been a bit too hot (I know I shouldn't be complaining when the sun is finally shining). Tomorrow we are visiting my parents in law in their summerhouse on a little island (fanoe) just outside Esbjerg. 

Otherwise we don't have any big plans for the rest of the week, though by Saturday it looks like the summer is gone again, so I will enjoy the summer to the fullest the next few days.

Sun and water fights...

Today the weather yet again was amazing, the only downside to this warm weather is that Jonas has a bit of trouble sleeping in the afternoon. Luckily it's cooler in the garage, so we ended up putting his pram in there instead of outside (in Denmark it's very common that babies/toddlers sleep outside in their pram, pretty much no matter what the weather is like).

This afternoon Jonas got a drink of water, and every time we filled his cup he took a sip and the spilled the rest on the ground or on himself. In the end he was pretty wet so I decided to have a little water fight with him, and started spraying him with the hose... and he loved it:)

Have a great weekend everyone, I will be enjoying an extra long one since Monday is a holiday here in Denmark!

Remember to stop and smell the roses...

According to the calendar today is the first day of summer, and with 22 degrees Celsius outside I believe summer is here!

After getting home from work I was sitting outside checking e-mails (so glad that the hubby insisted on getting sockets on the terrace), enjoying a cup of coffee and the sun burning on the skin.

The cats loved being outside in the nice weather, though I think the heat might have gotten to poor Gilbert, he was just sleeping...

Gustav on the other hand was lying on the wall, but not for too long, because then something moved in the grass and he was running after it.

He was running around the garden, enjoying that we were out there with him. Kept busy and needed to look at everything, but not too busy, he literally stopped to smell the roses (how cute is that?).

Hope you all are enjoying the beginning of summer.

I'm ready for summer

I managed to get everything done in time, and we enjoyed the visit at our friends on Friday night.

Yesterday we celebrated my birthday with our families, and had a really nice day. My mum had baked a !cake-woman" for me, she has bake one every year for my birthday, only the missing the year I lived in the USA. That is a tradition I will never give up, she bakes one for all of our birthdays, so it's easy having people over for coffee at you birthday, because mum is doing the baking:)

My parents in law and my sister in law came with really great presents, I got a lot of new summer clothes, now I just need the summer.
Okay not the best pictures, but they will have to do:)

I can just picture myself in the black or the yellow dress walking on the beach in Malaysia... yeah our summer plans seems to have changed. We had talked about going to the USA, but the tickets are really expensive, it's actually cheaper going to Asia. A ticket to New York has almost doubled the price compared to what they usually cost. So we are considering Asia, USA will be there another time.

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend as much as me.
