July 6, 2010 Stockholm is amazing!

We are having a great time!!! Just like expected!! :) lol

The girls did the long flight and passed with flying colors. They did so well and I'm very proud of them. We checked in to a hotel when we got here, very very comfortable beds :) But first the girls had requested that we would go and play in the park so we did. Staffan joined us there but we only lasted for a couple of hours then we got so tired that we could barely walk :)

Chloe & Sienna passed out on sofa bed and I nodded off with Olivia on her sofa. I woke up and thought great - I'm really well rested and its breakfast and lets start a new day. But then I thought it was weird nobody else was waking up for a very long time, so I looked around and found a clock...it was 21.04!!! I had only slept for a few hours!
So I got up got a shower, walked downstairs to get the code for internet and surfed for a bit. Then took an Ambien so I would sleep all night. The only thing was... Olivia woke up... and didn't wan't to go back to sleep... but I passed out pretty quickly anyway so only God knows what she was up to. :) Aj said she was walking around the room and stuff til 4 am :)

This morning we had breakfast with mum and dad and then started walking to Old Town and then to the Castle - Drottningholm - DRH-ext-foto-Dick-Norberg-stl-718-284.jpgthe girls wanted to see if they could see a real princess :). Mum and I took them to the Armour museum - Livrustkammaren where they have oooold carriages and armour, clothes, dresses and even a place where the girls could dress up and sit on a throne. Armour_livrustkammaren_museum_stockholm.jpg






Then we walked all the way out to Djurgarden where we had lunch by the water and then walked over to Junibacken where we took a small train to look at the world of Astrid Lindgren's characters. We are going to Astrid Lindgren's world in Vimmerby later this summer too. Where they can see plays from all the books. Its not like Disney, but it has a lot of charm!

Outside this they had some balls that were inflatable and the girls would be inside then they let the balls loose (3 at the time) in the big inflatable pool. The girls looked like Zhu zhu pets inside the balls. Pretty funny and since there were no other people waiting the guy let them stay in them for about 20 min. Chloe's ball was all steamed up when she got out :) :) :)


The second to last stop for the day was Skansen its where you can see wild native animals of Sweden, old historic buildings, pet animals and see shows or have a meal and walk around. We did that and then we took the kids and Staffan went for a nice dinner on the water again and then took the bus home. We travel by foot, underground and bus - very easy!! Now its time for bed so we can hit the Grona Lund - Tivoli tomorrow. Promised the girls they can go on as many rides as they like! 


God natt!!
