New Zealand 2012

Better late then never they say! Here is finally a summary of our wonderful trip back to nz for those who want to :)
Klara and Matt getting ready for take of on the 8th of Dec

Leaving a cold Skellefteå with a 36 hour trip ahead of us.


Had a few hours to kill on the plane... very thankful they were showing the Lionking :) watched it over and over...


We also were lucky enough to get extra seats so Klara Susan got get some good sleeps :) This kept her smiling and happy the whole trip! It could not have gone any better!


Finally we arrived and Klara was straight up in aunti Anna's lap

What a morning to wake up to that first day :)
Klara was loving it, not missing the snow at all!

We ate lots of kiwifruit :)

Visited the beach of course
Klara jumping in the waves with dadda and aunti Anna ♥

Matt's cousin got married when we were there, here we are waiting for the rest of the crew to arrive


Wedding time ♥
The trip was full of special moments but this one was extra special -  Klara Susan feeding and chasing the birds! She was truly in heaven :)
We visited nana and grandad's graves

Klara and old nana Shirley - got on like a house on fire :)

The mount - do I need to say more?
A bucket and a showel was the best buy this trip, at least if you ask Klara :)

We ate fish'n chips on a few occasions, maybe too many... ;) Here with nana Ellen and cousin Paul

Cant go home without a walk around the Mount


round we go..

and back to the beach side :)
All the girls in the spa

We stayed one night in Matata in Donna's caravan,

 we took long walks on the beach..

... and had lots of quality time ♥

There was many family dinners
Sadly our time was way to short to do everything we wanted to do and see everyone we wanted to see. We were busy fitting everything in and had to take a timeout on the beach every now and again.
You can never build to many sandcastles :)

Soaking up the sun

Klara made many new friends, here with one of her favourite Arnie
we visited Waihi and matt's grandad and uncles

 
Walked around the Waihi mine
Dreamy landscape
Sadly our trip came to a end and getting home was exhausting.


When arriving in Sweden we stayed one night in Stockholm before flying north. Klara crashed out after beeing such a good girl the whole flight ♥

Back to the winter

what to come.

Even tho this tiny bit of snow is long gone we all know that this - and plenty more - is what lies ahead. There is no way of escaping it. If not... thats right - you can always jump on a plane and fly thousands of miles to the other side of the world and soak up the sun for a few weeks! Yes we are counting down the days and no we have not started packing yet. Think I have to dust of my bikini and get started tho :) What we do have is a list of foods we are going to eat and people we want to visit!

Think we have to buy Cashie boy a colourful jacket before we go so he doesnt get lost in the snow. He will be a residence at the Bergman hotell when we are away. He is superexcited since he knows they've got very comfortable couches there :)
All and all we cant wait to jump on that plane and fly away, cant wait to show of our princess to all the kiwi folks ♥

Klara Susan - dont know how it happenend but all of a sudden you became this little wee child. Cant call you baby anymore :) Éveryday is an adventure with her and she is so much fun now ♥

Standing by the zink washing hands and hair is a favourite and so is helping with the dishes.

With new people around she can be a bit shy but at home she is a real comedian :)

Oh yea sitting on the potty is also pretty fun! has to be done naked of course :)
