goan adventures with farmor and farfar

while farmor and farfar visit we make sure to do hit all the fun activities nearby, including the anjuna market, where  you can buy almost anything...

 and the local chaudi market, with their yummy and oh so cheap vegies.  zoe loaded up on her beloved snack, peas.

 and a visit to the nature reserve and butterfly park.  see, we did not spend all day, everyday at the beach!  :-)

Eimi Thorén Fotography

i am working on starting my own company,  Eimi Thorén Fotography.  will be doing what i have always been doing, websites and of course photography, but now it will be official.  snapped this shot on the beach the other day, with just my iphone, and thought of all the precious moments in life one would like to caputure.  this is one of mine.  hope i can capture those moments for many others in the near furture.

life at the beach

the days slip easily away into weeks when things are this good.  get up in the morning, put on your swimsuit, maybe go for a swim or a walk.  throw yourself down in the restaurant and wait for some yummy food.  perhaps some snuggles while you wait.

 then maybe a swim again, then soon it is time for farmor and farfar to take all the kids for ice cream.  yum.

 then again you can pass the time taking silly selfies with some strange hot guy on the beach.

 showering off the saltwater after some morning fun in the sun. perhaps your showering facilities are not quite what they are at home,  but that doesn´t really detract from the experience.

 then it is time once again to chill in the restaurant and await your lunch.

 there are tons of creative outlets, including building a small fairy town in front of a nearby bungalow.

 then maybe some exercise with living weights before it is time to enjoy a tasty dinner once again on the beach.  really, one cannot complain.

games and education, on the beach...

life doesn´t stop just cuz you are in paradise.  zoe has been really good about keeping up with her school work while we are here.

 

even thomas has gotten in the mood and is reading.  that only seems to happen in india (when else would one have the time?)

 

and what is an evening on the beach with good food and sand between your toes without a friendly game of uno.  i think zoe and farmor are cheating cuz they keep winning!  zoe and eijla have decided they want to name the baby uno.  not so sure about that one.

love that there is a fireworks celebration nearly everynight. it is fun just to celebrate nothing but the fact that we are alive and life is good.

Off to india!

off on a new adventure.  this time a lazy month in the south of goa!  farmor and farfar hanger med för ett par veckor med!

Happy new year! 2013!

we were able to ring in the new year with two of our favorite crazies, that we do not get to see nearly often enough!  there was good fun, tasty drinks, and a hell of a good time!  at one point i do believe johan was in last place in wii golf!  oj oj oj!

happy new year to you all, hope it brings you all many wonderful things!
