Back in the USA

Hey there. I'm back, did you miss me?

I spent the last 10 days or so touring scandinavia, on a nice relaxing vacation. Here's me with the entire Norwegian branch of the family and farmor who's Swedish. From left to right there's my cousin Leo, my uncle Michael, Aunt Sara, cousin Jacob, Grampa, Farmor Dad+me and mom. We spent most of the time at the cabin in Sweden.



Where I spent most of the time as a beach bum. For those of us under 2, this was a clothing-optional beach, but I tried that and an ant bit my behind. Plus, this is a G-rated blog, so we'll keep the pictures decent.




I picked up a lot of new words on this trip. "Beh-eeze" (berries) is one of the most useful ones, and I ate a lot of them. Also "up", "Wahk" (walk), "rock", "off"and "buht" (boat). I got really good at recognizing the entire class of boats, from rowboats to ferries and calling them all "buht".



Cousins are fun, and even though they're older than me, we still had a lot of fun playing with cars and on the beach. Here we're all getting ready for bed by brushing our teeth.

OK, that's about it for now. I'll be staying put here in Denver for the next three weeks before we close out the summer travel season at Gun and Martin's wedding in San Francisco. I'm a good traveler, I am....

Love, D.
