This morning I woke up early to get in a run before having to shower and get ready for our trip to the Gripsholms Castle, which was an hour away. We left around 10 am, and we stopped first at some store downtown so Rey and I could buy 2 pairs of crocs for 100 swedish krona. And then I bought some sunglasses for 30 krona!
Once we were done shopping in that store, we headed out. We got there around 11:15, and the English tour wasn't til 1 pm, so we parked and had a picnic lunch out on the grass and picnic tables. We had pasta salad, apples, and bread. Then a little after 12, we walked up to the castle and looked around and took pictures before the tour. Cameras weren't allowed inside of the castle so I couldn't take any during the tour :( The tour guide cracked me up. He had a lisp, and couldn't say the "th" sound, so he claimed we were in the "frone" room, haha. He also would stop talking for a very dramatic pause which was kind of awkward. But we were able to see the THrone room, a prison room, the theater room, the princess's quarters, the king's bedroom, and a few others.
Once the tour was finished, we walked around a little more, and then walked back to where the car was parked and had fika on the grass. Then we drove over to Mariefred, which is like this tiny little town, so the kids could get some ice cream. Then we packed it in and made our way back home.
Once home, I relaxed until it was time to go to practice. I was the only one that went to practice out of My, Wilma, and Karin. We had a good practice tonight. We did a lot of situations and live plays, which was really good for the girls.
Once I got back from practice, they had dinner ready. Micke and Rey made a dish Rey wanted them to try which was grilled chicken on buns with cheese, pineapple, and jalapenos. They really enjoyed it and it was really good. I couldn't do the jalapenos, though.. my mouth is too weak for all that spicy-ness :)
After dinner, I tried to do some flips with My and Lousia on the trampoline, and now I'm about to shower off and relax. I've been so tired these past couple days because we've been so busy. Tomorrow will be another busy day... I've got practice from 10-12, and then we are leaving for Vasteras to go to a festival and watch Gustav's band perform.
Hope yall enjoy my pictures of the castle! :)
