summer hols at home

While we've been at home during the past few weeks we've been....

 

jam making,

 

drumming,

 

having friends to stay,

 

rebuilding the entrance.

What have you been up to?

: )

Just a little update, to say that summer mode is setting in and we now relocate to a summerhouse on the west coast for a week. I (Christian) have been working monday tuesday and I'm then gonna join A, M and C in the summerhouse after work today. Have a great week!

Camping

 

Outside the caravan and tent, getting ready to be in the sun, it was really hot all week.  Good job we weren't camping this week as it keeps raining over here.

 

By the pool...

 

Anyone for a drink?

 

On the beach, playing in the water.

More safari

 

A fancy bird...

 

Girraffes and antelopes

 

Lotte and I struggled to get 3 littles ones to sleep at midday with 3 prams/pushchairs! I've just been cleaning a twin buggy we were given, ready for next week's holiday. I've high hopes for everyone napping at the same time in this and thus me having some crafty time, we'll see what happens....

 

Water Buffalos, I think, in the european part...  We couldn't spot the bears and wolves in the North American enclosure but that's all part of the safari expreience!

On safari

 

Last week on our camping trip we visited a local safari park and it was AMAZING!

 

The park was divided up into continents and had loads of space for the animals to roam around.

 

You could even take a safari ride in a range rover, but we were to late to book and it wasn't quite working out with our nap and feeding times!

 

This is a stork!

The Bees

Did I mention the bee family arrived a few weeks ago?

Well, they did! They are now installed in their new home on the field.  The three bee keepers are Steffan, Nikolai and Christian, it must be a boy thing.... or a time thing.... ; )

 

We're all very excited about the bees. Only 2 bee stings so far, Christian got stung on his eyebrow and Steffan's little brother on his arm.  The problem is we only have one bee suit and lots of interested people!

 

The queen bee seems to be there and so all is well, I think...

 

Later in the year, we put more boxes on to build up the hive.

 

No honey this year but by next spring we'll hopefully have (literally) tons of the stuff!

Hej

We're just back from another camping trip, this one was far more successful ; ) We were by the sea near Århus so Christian could easily get to work everyday.  Lotte, Johannes, Alfie, Molly and I  did alot of playing in the park, baby swimming pool and beach.  Lotte and I are now ready for another holiday to recouperate!

Here are some random photos from just before we left for our trip, camping photos to follow soon....  

 

Freshly picked carrots from the garden : )

 

Baking a strawberry cake for a celebratory house dinner!

 

Molly is competeing with Alfie to see who can be the messiest eater.....
