Easter Pictures - Take 1

One of the paper monsters the boys colored, then ripped out because we didnt bring scissors. Paper Monsters = Paper Dolls for boys.

The poor stuffed animals, the things were tied to shoes strings and swung around the cottage.

Einar, crazy kid :)

Tired, yawning and not too clean, Kasper.

Sunset pictures never turn out for us, but we always keep trying.

Kasper, with an Ice Gun, shooting at a jeep that got stuck trying to get to the volcano.

Some stupid guy that thought his jeep was better then everyone else's and ignoring the sign drove ahead to get stuck in front of everyone.

Kasper on the black sand of Vík.

No matter how many times I tell these guys to be careful, they always get wet.
But they were having fun.

In Vík, on the beach.

Easter Holidays 2010 - Side Notes

Every year we ave tried to take an Easter Holiday. Some family time away from it all, time we just have to spend together.
Regardless of time or budget constraints, and we did it again.
Welcome to Easter Holidays 2010.

Highlights of the trip:

We rented a cottage about 10 minutes from Hveragerði, in a set of cottages called Gljúfur.

On the first full day we started by driving to Skógafoss, following a rumor we might be able to see the volcano from there, but we couldn't, only steam. Next we drove to Vík to see the amazing stones, black sandy beaches and  huge waves. And last back up towards some other place people said you could see thew Volcano, but that wasnt true either. So back to the cabin we went, exhausted.

The second day was much more relaxing. Davíð was gone to his parents so I had the place alone with the boys. I caught up on a bunch of reading, Leópold learned how to drag himself around rather quickly on slippery wood floors and the boys ran everywhere, including in and out of the hot tub.

The third night was really stormy and I woke up several times in the middle of the night. One of these times I realized that the reason we were so cold is because the door had blown open.

The third day, today, we headed back, after cleaning our own cabin. It is much more reasonably priced if you clean it yourself.

Now I am home, happy, tired and ready for a good sleep in my own bed.
