Sweden

Our first trip to Sweden - to see snow, skiing and snow angels!

Our schedule was several days with farmor (grandma) in Sveg, 5 days skiing up at Funasdalen, several days with farfar (granddad) at the farm, then several days in Stockholm.

At Changi Singapore airport, ready to checkin

Sebastian has been asking several times in the last few weeks 'mum, what is the reason we are on earth? '.

I thought I'd try and explain a few of my ideas ... And he cuts my speech short and says:

'I reckon its something like this. A big fairy made the world, and put a mummy and a daddy, 2 kids and a dog on it. Then they had lots of kids and spread all over the world'.





as we left our hotel, and drove back to farfar's farm - we saw the beautiful arc in the sky at 10am in the morning
