Nana and Blake visit - Part 1

My mom and brother headed back to Utah yesterday, we had such a blast with them here. The month went by way too fast! We kept very busy, and walked so much. My mom said that she was ready to go home and sit for a few days, we walked and walked and kept walking. There was just so much to see. I am so glad that they were able to come out to Sweden and visit us. It is always fun to be able to share with others what you have been experiencing. Thanks for visiting us and for the fun memories!!

This is what we were up to (for the first part).

Old Uppsala
The Burial Mounds
Twin Spires in Uppsala
Fjaderholmarna Archipelago

Sergels Torg
Downtown Stockholm, T-Centralen, Kulturhuset

Drottningholm Palace
The Royal Family uses part of the palace as its private residence.

Parloppet Race
Hagaparken June 16, 2009
This was a couples race, it was so fun. Each team member would run a different course and then they would add up your time. I have to say we didn't do too shabby. Out of 518 teams we were #72.

What a fun place you guys live in that you can go and see all those amazing places.
The yellow mansion looks like the house in Pride and Prejudice with Kira Kightly.
Thanks for sharing all those neat pictures. Super beautiful.
