Visitors from Afar!

We just finished up a wonderful two weeks with our Swedish family. Henrik's mom, step-dad, brother and sister were all able to travel over to visit us this year! It was the first time for all of them, except Henrik's mom, to meet E & N. Since we hadn't seen them in 5 years, we had to cram a ton of fun into two weeks! Here are a few pictures of our first few days together.

First stop, one of our favorite restaurants, Bug-a-boo Bay.

Checking out the tropical fish with the grandmas.

Next up, bowling! Henrik's 16-year-old brother Rasmus has success with this unusual form.

"Why yes. That is a bowling ball under my shirt!"

Henrik and his 14-year-old sister Amelia.

The whole family! Curt, Amelia, Maud, Henrik & Rasmus.

Whew!! Sounds like a great time together. I have to say that when I saw the pic of Amelia I thought that E definitely resembled her. Do you ever see that too??

How awesome to have them all here!!! I bet you guys had a fantastic time!!

How are you like Alex? I was just up in Osakis a couple of weeks ago for a Girls Weekend at my in-laws cabin. Unfortunatley, the weekends go far too quickly when you don't get there until Friday night..otherwise I would have tried to come over and see you and the new place. I'll let you know when I'm up again.

And if I haven't said it, congrats on your pregnancy. I'm so scattered and busy this summer, I couldn't remember. :)

Love you!

Oh Carrie! That picture with the bowling ball under your shirt is a riot!!! I loved it! And it was fun to see Henrik's family - has it been that long? I couldn't get over how grown-up Amelia is now, especially.

Great to see the pictures!

So fun to see Henrik's family! I agree with Candis, Amelia especially looks so grown up!

I miss you and can't wait to see you guys sometime soon when I get back to MN. I just got to attend a Twins/Angels game and posted some pictures specifically for E!
