June play

June has brought many changes for us. I am feeling nostalgic and sad about leaving. This is such a great place for children. They are so well revered here. I hate to leave it. But, it is time to go. This month we are all home. We are doing day trips to our favorite places around the city and visiting some areas outside of the city that we did not get to, but want to before going. Today, we will go to Langholmen. This is the little island in the middle of the city with a great beach and an old prison that is now a hotel. Over the weekend we went to Sigtuna. It is the 2nd oldest town in Sweden. Next week we plan to go to Uppsala for the day. It is an hour north and has the oldest university in Europe. Hoorah!
We are selling our things in a moving sale right now. I am feeling nostalgic about this. It is nice to lighten the load, but hard to let go. We are selling our Swedish stroller. It was such a significant part of our time here. The sale of this item is more about the loss of Rowan and his babyness than the stroller. We are returning with so few items to what we brought. We came with so much baby stuff. Also, we came with so many toys. I now realize how many toys American kids have. I know chilcren have lots of toys here, but what they consider alot here is nothing to what the average Americna kid has. Weird.
Ok, we are doing well for the time being. We are in a weird state of limbo, but enjoying the time off and the excursions.

I think this one is self explanatory.
