Grilling at Andre's camper

Andre invited us over to grill at his camper. From the left: Fredrik, Sebbe (look how concentrated he is on Andre's spareribs!), Andre and Anders

Harley's first day in the 9th grade

This was Harley's first day of school this year. He got a haircut, Alison helped him pick out some cool school clothes, then she put highlights in his hair.

Guitar Hero Competition, Malmö Festivalen

Harley entered the Guitar Hero competition at Malmö festival, but since he is used to playing it on the computer and they had the Playstation II version, it was quite different and he didn't win. Afterwards, however, we went home and put the game up on the big screen and he proved to us all that he could beat the winning score on that song!

Andre, malmo festival

Suddenly the band started playing heavy metal, and Andre just couldn't sit still any longer.

Pre-Malmö-festival party

We had our own pre-party before hitting the festival, here sitting is Martin, Andre, Åsa, and me. We played Guitar Hero on the projector screen at Fredrik's apartment.

Åsa and Martin just arrived at Fredrik's apartment and we forced Martin to take his turn on Guitar Hero. Andre is sitting on the sofa.

Driving home from Stockholm

We ran into some summer showers on the drive home and Alison caught this beautiful rainbow from the back seat of the car.

Stockholm

We watched the changing of the guard at the castle in Stockholm, they put on quite a show.

This was in Gamla Stan (Old Town), there were many Japanese tourists taking pictures of this statue and I liked it too so I snapped one as well.

Summer 2008

Fredrik spent the day cleaning and found a bag hanging up with this shirt and some other overnight things in it - we don't know who it belongs to! If you recognize it, call Fredrik.

Rocky beach

Very neat rocks here. After Kullaberg, we found the nearest beach to take a swim in. We needed it, the climb back up that vertical mountain was really tough.

Climbing adventure

This place was interesting. One man has built all this on the beach using driftwood and old building materials, and it is quite a popular attraction - people come here to climb. We decided it was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, because it was a LONG way down the (vertical) mountain to get to this beach and not quite worth the unique visual experience.

Fredrik and Ida, Sjöberga Lake

We took Fredriks Farmor (grandmother on father's side) out one day, she wanted to visit this lake where she grew up.
