pappa fyller år!

happy birthday pappa!  hipp hipp hurra!  it is pappa's day!  we woke him up with singing and breakfast in bed.  after food and snuggles we headed to the nearest wildlife sanctuary for a little more adventure.  we rode through the jungle on our little bike, and then hiked up to a treetop lookout.  zoe was so brave and climbed all the way up and down by herself.  a guy promised that if she could do it, than he would.  he made up about 3 meters and chickened out.  zoe thought he was a bit silly.

 we saw lizards, butterflies, frogs, and some pretty cool trees.

 we stopped for lunch at a cozy little place where zoe got to climb a coconut tree, and then we walked down to a little stream afterwards to cool down. 

 on the way out of the sanctuary we stopped to see the rescue animals,  zoe really hit if off with shinky the giant squirrel. 

then it was off to dinner on the beach again.  happy birthday my dear swedish meatball, i hope you know your girls are all crazy about you! puss.

time to let the cows out!

stefan, the farmer and who also happens to be our neighbor released his cows out to the pasture today.  all of zoe's dagis, plus hörja dagis, as well as some locals showed up for the action.  here eijla, zoe, and some of the other kids watched as the cows hopped and jumped about like crazies.

 free at last!

 then we got to meet stefan's baby pigs.  zoe was the bravest of the kids, and really wanted to hold one.  we even went into the barn where he keeps them all, yeah, that smelled just lovely.  had to bath the girls and wash all there clothes, but they had a great time, so it was definitely worth it.

 eijla took it easy and hung out with some of the younger kids from zoe's dagis.  being as röke is so small, a new kid is always something interesting...
