This morning I set my alarm so I could get up and go run for an hour again, I was able to get in 7 miles. Then I had breakfast with the family, and then we drove to the softball field for our scrimmage/practice. Micke, Pontus, Ray, Emil, and Ingrid's husband Micke played with us so we would have enough players. We were there from 11-1:30, and then I had to take Ray's bike and bike back to the house so we could hurry and shower and grab a quick lunch before heading to Västeras to visit and have dinner with Karin's twin sister Heleana and her family.
We got there around 3:30 and had fika. They had blueberry pie with vanilla cream, and then some cookies. I just had some coffee with warm milk. I love the Swedish coffee! Then Karin, Heleana, and I took Ludde (the dog) and went for a walk to some ancient viking grounds/graves, which took about an hour. When we got back we started grilling out and making dinner. They had me try a little Marabou dark chocolate square, and it was so good! Their marabou brand of chocolate is supposed to be the best and it comes in all sorts of different flavors. I'm definitely going to have to buy some to bring back home with me! Bjorn, Heleana's husband, is an amazing chef and he grilled the best pork filets. We had that with 2 different kinds of potato salad, bread, grilled corn on the cob, grilled tomatoes, and salad. It was sooo good! We left their house around 10 pm, and just got back a few minutes ago... it's about a 30 minute drive. We are hopefully going back on Friday (if we can get practice changed, or we will either miss it) to a festival there and to watch their 18 yr old son perform with his band.
Tomorrow we are planning to drive out to the lake to Karin's parent's cottage around 4 to have an early dinner so Ray can see them, and then we have practice at 6.
That's all for today :)
