Summer vacation Part 1

We are 2 weeks into my 7 week vacation. It's not actually 7 weeks of vacation, but 4 weeks of vacation and then 3 weeks of maternity leave. To me, it's still the same thing. It means I am off work and get to spend every day with my family.

These first 2 weeks we have taken day by day. The weather has been great and we have gone on several day trips to local parks, playgrounds, rivers, downtown, skate parks and yesterday we went to the popular Zoo Kolmården that is less than an hour away. There we got to go on a sky lift ride over the safari park and see bears, lions, giraffes and lots of other animals.



We also took William on his very first roller coaster ride. It was much more extreme than I had imagined and I thought he would be totally shook up and cry afterwards, but the first thing he said was "I wanna do it again!", so we did it 2 more times. He loved it!



I am really enjoying time off! Next week my friend Sini will visit and then my brother with family. Then in 2 weeks, we are flying up to Luleå to spend time with my parents. And after that we still have time to relax at home before I start working again. Yay for vacation! So glad I am not in the US or my vacation would be over now, after 2 weeks.
