We spent our last night in Sweden in Eskiltuna at Astrid's parents home. We really enjoyed visiting with them; especially Ingrid's great cooking. After dinner, they took us for a walk around town and Kalle acted as my personal tour guide.
On the 17th, everyone back home showed up to hear about the trip and get the souvenirs that we had bought for them in Gamla Stad. Paul and Zach got some cool Swedish T-shirts. Jill, Robyn and Natascha got some necklaces that Astrid helped Charlie find at the souvenir shops at the mine in Falun. Kevin and Blaine were happy with their sweatshirts.
Below, the grand daughters were thrilled with their aprons and the cookie cutters that Astrid and Dwight got them. They ran around all night playing like they were making cookies. We much preferred this to what the older boys did with their gifts.
As you can see below, Dallin and Daniel were thrilled with their viking hats, shields and weapons. The only problem is that they wanted to use their weapons on the girls or their grandpa.
Charile wonders in the background if we made a mistake getting the sword and axe.
Somehow we missed a picture of Ian with his new truck that we got him, but here is a picture of Luke with his toy partially hidden on the floor by the curtains.
Overall, everyone was ready to send us to Sweden again.
