Well dressed Swedish family in the forest

Picture perfect sunset

From our island of choice today.  It was probably the best weather this summer.

 

This is a bird island, which we couldn't land on the first time we came here due to the protection given to the birds in earlier summer. The vegetation was very extra terrestrial, and most of the island was covered in blue mussel shells. We bbq'd ribs, corns, and yaki onigiri (grilled rice ball). Yum.

 

Läckö Castle

 

At the lake side castle, originally built in the 13th century. It must have been a romantic sight for boats coming in from Lake Vänern, the largest lake in Sweden.

Finally! The sun is out in Sweden!

 
 

This summer is probably Sweden's top 10 worst weathered summers. But today, finally, the sun showed up and the wind stopped (and it didn't rain either)! On a small island with the munchkins.
