Today we had a day full of fun at Birger and Kari’s place. Matilda and the children went early while I was catching up on some sleep (after working the night shift). I took my motorcycle and came with perfect timing as dinner was ready.
As always it’s fun to see the cousins gather together. Here’s a picture of the guys. I can’t help to think about the wild “lost boys” in the Peter Pan story when I see them sitting together.
After dinner we went to the Sauna. It sits just by the lake, and is heated with firewood in a small stove. Kari, myself and Per started, but soon the kids got interested and wanted to try as well. I think we had the youngest group in the sauna so far…
A big part of enjoying a sauna is being able to go for a cold swim afterwards. We didn’t have a thermometer, but I would guess the lake was about 10°C - plenty cold! The kids didn’t seem to mind too much though and jumped in and out a few times.
After the sauna we lit our annual but slightly delayed “easter bonfire”. This year it was one of the best fires ever, but for a brief moment there was some concern about the field of dry grass not so far away.
Kari brought marshmallow to everyones delight!
We finished the evening with cake and icecream to celebrate Marcus. He turned 34 the day before and was happy to open up a few presents:
