It's been five days without kindergarten/school/work so a real mini-vacation, and we took the opportunity to visit our summer house. It takes about 3,5 hours to drive there, not that far, but with three kids in the car it can sometimes be challenging enough. Once we get there everything is worth it though, and this time we were also very lucky with the weather.
In the first photo the kids are looking for crabs.

The summer house was built in 1955 by my stepfathers father. It has a great location with a view over the fjord.

We love being there, and it makes a great change from living in the inland. Playing by the sea side is great. 33075209_10160388650375440_4831482503103512576_n.jpg

There are many nice little beaches nearby, surrounded by rocks that are nicely shaped by the Ice Age.

The kids are finally getting old enough to run around on the rocks without me being too scared they fall and hurt themselves.

A little walk in the surroundings.

Now back to reality. Work for another six weeks before we'll return to our little summer paradise.

Thanks for stopping by!

Looks beautiful, I miss being with my kids on the seashore they are all grown now, so we don't make it as much as we once did.

I guess that's life, so I'm enjoying it while I can. Afterwards I'll enjoy the silence and a good book at the beach in stead :)

så deilig Helen! :) fikk du testet badevannet? Liiiiitt kaldt ennå her borte hos oss, , men litt mer sol nå så blir det bra :)

Veldig deilig! Fikk vasset litt i hvertfall, litt kaldt fortsatt, men blir nok bra til neste gang vi drar ned. Dere er jo ikke langt unna så hadde vært koselig med besøk i løpet av sommeren :)

ja, det hadde vært superkoselig :) jeg har aldri vært på Hvasser :)

Da er det på tide! Vi får avtale :)
