I just returned from two weeks vacation in Sweden. I saw my cousins Ebba and Inez, my aunt Sara and uncle Steven and my grandmother in the south of Sweden. The trip overseas went really well. I slept most of the time so it was not as boring as I had expected. I know how to say airplane in Swedish; flygaget (....well, almost, that is).
We arrived in Stockholm, but soon went down to see my grandmother in Smålandsstenar.
My grandmother was so happy to see me. I was a bit shy at first but I soon got very familiar with her place.
It had just been Inez's birthday so we celebrated again at grandma's place. Here she is getting some help from Ebba to open the presents. What could be in that fun box?
Wow, Converse shoes! I like them!
Ebba and I had so much fun playing. I could never imagine how great it is to have an older cousin! Here we are at grandma's kitchen table, drawing. I know Ebba was a bit annoyed that I broke a lot of her crayons, but she let me have them anyway. She is so sweet!
Ebba is really good at drawing. She can make princesses and trees and houses. And she can write! She even wrote my name! So impressive! She is only 5 after all.
Outside my grandma's place there is a little fish pond. Ebba and I loved to play there. Mommy was with us most of the time or Steven or Sara. Once I actually fell in, head first! Luckily mom was right behind me to pull me up. I get a bit too adventurous sometimes.... 
Ebba and I did so much running! We ran outside grandma's place and at the playground just next door.
I really love Ebba! She is like a big sister. I learnt so much from her! Here we are at the green house outside my grandma's place.
At the playground next door there were so many fun things to do. We played there almost every day. Not really sure I can get out of this tunnel myself though. Mom, a bit of help please!
Going on the swings was a blast! 
Ebba can swing really high on her own!
Inez also likes to go on the swings.
We had a lot of visitors all week long. On Friday Annie visited. Of course she wanted to hold Inez in her lap. She is so cute nobody can resist her!

Åhh, lilla Elsie vad det var roligt att ha dig på besök. Vi saknar dig vid frukostbordet-ingen som säger "Mei o lou(?) blåbär" längre, fast Inez fortsätter att "vara stark". Gör du också det?
Nu är vi nyss hemkomna fr ännu ett par fina dagar på Degerholmen med sol och imorgon bär det av norrut till uncle Stevens stuga. VAd roligt vi hade och vad fint din mamma satt ihop alla bilder! Tusen pussar och kramar från moster och kusinerna!
