Back From Sweden

We've just got back from a lovely trip to stay with friends of ours that live in Sweden... we know them from our pre children days back in Haarlem, so this was a slightly different experiance... but very nice and very fun!

Legoland Windsor




Viking City, Malmo Sweden















On our way to the beach, 5 minutes away from our friends house







At the Tivoli in Denmark... Rich threatens not to go back to Legoland again. There were NO queues! I spent 1hr 15 minutes in a queue with Amie for a ride that lasted 3 minutes the week before at Legoland.... but we live in the UK, not Denmark.

Trip to Ireland

What a fine pair.... and the kids aren't bad either. Amie and Noah get to meet Molly Malone in Dublin's Fair City. Her boobs are shiny because it's customery to give them a rub for luck (apparently).

Amie driving the boat on the Viking Splash Tour. http://www.vikingsplash.ie/. Would definately recommend it, was very informative and great fun. We got to 'be Vikings' and ROOOOAAARRRR at unsuspecting passersby.

Noah got a go too. The children also got called into the cockpit of the airplane when we were flying back to England. So some future career prospects there (though Noah still just wants to be a man when he grows up...I'm all for aiming for achievable goals, but sometimes it's good to stretch yourself).

Ah... Summer in Ireland

But where you have rain you sometimes get rainbows. This picture isn't great as it was taken from the car on the motorway, but it was a complete rainbow... the first I've seen in years.

Feeding the ducks by the canal, Noah almost thowing himself in each time he chucks bread in.

Aw isnt' it cute

Hightlight of Amie's holiday was getting to walk Grandad's dog.


Trunki's were really handy, great that the kids have to carry their own luggage.
