Birka

Today Grandma (mimi), Noah, Theo and I took a daytrip out to Birka, a viking island outside of Stockholm.



We had a wonderful day, with a picnic lunch admist the roaming sheep.











We walked past fields of flowers to a cute church.



We also got to see a real live viking cemetary. The clumps of rocks you see are graves... viking graves.





On our way back to the boat, we stopped by a small viking 'area' (can't quite bring myself to call it a town, though that seems to be the ambition. Noah and Mimi explored the surroundings and Noah excitedly reported that he had seen an actual viking barbqueing. The viking was actually a black smith but hey coal is the common denominator.







Noah enjoyed himself thoroughly running around, chasing sheep, and climbing rocks.





On our way back tired from the days activities we saw the coolest water slide ever. Imagine plunging into the water from that thing!
