A rainy playdate in the park
Our skate park is finally open!
Too many big kids, though...
We had the playground to ourselves though!
Lily with her school friend Inaaya.
Kids on the swings
... And then the rain came and we had to search for shelter.
The kids were soaked, but still having fun.
Rainbow!
We decided to go home and eat some Swedish buns...
Perfect ending of a fun and short playdate in the park.

Jonah's birthday party in the park
Jonah requested a Minecraft Cake for his ninth birthday, so we made one. It's a traditional Swedish Princess Cake - sponge with layers of raspberries, vanilla custard, cream and marzipan on top.
Jonah and his friends ☺
The cake ♥
Some other party food - pizza buns and vanilla scrolls
Swedish chocolate/oatmeal balls - is a must at any birthday party!
Jonah had a great day with his friends.
