Spring is officially here

Our barbeque was fired up for the first time this year which is the classic Swedish sign of announcing spring is here. Some nights it seems everyone in the entire neighbourhood fires up their barbeques and the smoke hangs thick. At these nights you might see the usually very reserved Swedes lean out over the balcony railings to spy on the neighbour's dinners and if spotted, a small nod can be seen. That's just how crazy we get...

Food was good as we were all hungry from our walk in the National park. Being another beautiful +20 degrees day, we were smart not to go in there until after park rush hour. Was great sitting on a rock by the water, drinking coffee and enjoying the sun. Was a laugh watching my kids playing with frogs! There were so many frogs just floating around in the water, and when the kids stuck their hands in the frogs swam up and hugged them. They acctually climbed out of the water clinging to the arms, probably enjoying the warmth from these creatures by the waterfront. Never seen frogs behave like that before.

Post edit: The following week we hade snow!
