Tova Elise has her big nap in the morning which provided time for weeding and transplanting in the gardens. When she awoke, we made our way to a local outdoor recreation centre -- Hogbo Bruk (sorry can't add the umlauts). Well, we stumbled upon their Children's day which meant that there were kids everywhere -- with balloons, getting their faces painted, playing fish pond, getting horse rides, paddling in kayaks, visiting all the animals and even doing rabbit jumping races. The last of these I had never seen before -- you have a rabbit on a leash and it has been 'trained' to jump over fences -- think horse jumps in miniature. Well, rabbits refuse gates even more than horses, so there is a continual 'pick up the rabbit, carry it back a few steps and then try again' process. But those guys can jump when inspired!
Lunch was kid oriented -- that means meatballs, mini hotdogs, and pancakes on the buffet. In the afternoon, Richard and Jennie did a mountainbike route while TE and I walked around the lake.
Too many people for an afternoon coffee there so we stopped at IKEA for an ice cream or coffee -- can't go wrong for 5 kr each (less than $1).
We further enjoyed the glorious day with supper on the back porch -- thanks IKEA for making good pizza!
