We wanted to go dogsledding, but there isn't enough snow yet, so we went for a hike with the dogs instead. The Husky Farm is just outside of Sunnemo in Värmland.
Cross country skiing in Säfsen, about 4 hours north of Gothenburg.
The Roger kids get cotton candy (spun suger in Swedish) at Liseberg.
Finding our house in the huge aerial photo at stadsbyggnadskontoret (the city building office) on Köpmansgatan.
A long walk in the woods (well, long for a six year old) to Bertillsons Stuga at the eastern tip of Lilla Delsjön.

Drinks taste pretty good when served in a glass made out of ice, sitting on a chair made out of ice, leaning on a bar made out of ice while looking at the walls made out of ice. But -10 degrees celsius is pretty darn cold.
Jackson and Camille climbing around in the park.
Josh, Ali & Shelby warming themselves by the open fire in Bältespännarparken on the Avenue while Camille & Jackson are ice skating.

Camille & Jackson slept 11 hours straight their first night here.
The gingerbread men are prepared and resting calmly in the fridge for decoration later this week.

We don't have the snow that the midwest and east coast are enjoying/suffering. When chopping down our own Christmas tree this year we had to navigate forest roads-turned-rivers and pouring rain. Tim was ready, though.
We found some nice trees, and managed to collect them safely, even though it looks like Leo's left leg is chopped off below the knee and Claes has no head.
Merry Christmas!
Where would you go to put yourself back together after getting discombobulated while going through airport security? The Milwaukee airport has the perfect place.
Best hot dog cooker smoker griller thingy ever. Just outside of Kronhuset.
Sure signs of winter:

Kiwis resting in a hand-turned bowl by Tom Smith from his little workshop by Lake Monona.
A vending machine in the Amsterdam airport featuring three attractive choices:
Total Loss, Wine Gums & Drop Mix.
What does that really mean? Is the weather so bad that they're not allowed to show it? Well, it kinda is actually.
Yes, our suitcase weighed exactly fifty point zero pounds.
And once again, our last activity in New York was brunch in Brooklyn. A big thanks to our very accomodating hosts.
It turns out Joe The Plumber has renamed himself Joe D Plumber and runs a successful business in the borough of Brooklyn. I guess that makes him one of the East Coast Elite and no longer part of The Real America.
Hanging out with Jeremiah Josef at Jon & Helene's place on Virginia Ave. in the Bronx.
We finally got to meet Stan the camel. He was as every bit as studly as we imagined. Thanks for a nice evening in Hoboken, J&F.
We visited Lucas & Danielle out in Wantage NJ. Thanks for a good time guys! Lucas: Stop being such a bridezilla.
Lucas does his sexy pose.
A new stove that looks old.
The keys to the old cabin.
On the Appalachian Trail, just a few steps from the house.
Ali does some fake cooking on a real old stove.
The worlds best guacamole burgers in Hollis with Rolando & Roxy. Muy delicioso!
