Retrospective blog entry : I like noodles!

You know I have been meaning to mention this for more than a week now but had not got round to it.
So whats new, I hear you ask ?
The mention moment is that towards the end of the kid´s stay the weather took a down-turn which gave us a good excuse to good to the cinema. We couldn't resist going to see "Kung-Fu Panda", a fun cartoon romp whose awesomeness is extreme. To get fully into the mood, we popped into the nearest Chinese restaurant for supper.
I like NOODLES !

Report on the young Zoo Keepers

Today Sandra and Silja fed fish to the seals at the zoo. They were inside the enclosure and had to throw each fish into the water so the seals could chase it. The fish was smelly, but the seals seemed to like it.

Landmannahellir weekend

We took a trip to the highlands in a bus and with lots of people from the Red Cross and stayed the weekend at a place called Landmannahellir. It was beautiful weather the whole time – not a cloud in the sky. The tent was up in no time, the team had been practising! From base camp we took a day trip to the hot springs at Landmannalaugur and from there climbed up the nearest mountain, Bláhjukur, so we could enjoy the most outstanding views. We bumped into a wandering British film maker who recorded out triumphal ascent on film. It would be fun if we ever got to see that results.
The weather was warm enough to allow us to go wading in the river and of course there was grill and singing in the evening. It was a really great weekend trip.

Sports kids

I have to report that the kids have been quite sporty this past two weeks, no time for blogging! They have signed up for the sports and football course at the Vikingur Sports club and have been at practice everyday. Vikungur is the sports club of their grandfather.
They kids are getting good with the ball as the pictures above show. Their practice times are for Sandra 12.30 untill 13.45 hrs everday except Friday, and for Eirikur, he is practising with 4 flokkur and practice time is 16.30 until 17.45 hrs. His coach is called Viggo. They are welcome to continue to practice with the team.
Today we went to see sandra´s girls team play at the Girls Competition – Stelpamót. It was wet and rainy, but everybody seemed to be having fun.

hjalti came to visit.
He stayed all day.

Helsinki

I wanted to put up a few pictures from my graduation trip to Helsinki. Its seems I was having so much fun that I used the camera much less than I had thought. In the Nokia complex the use of cameras was restricted.... no to industrial espionage! On the other hand you can see how beautiful the city can be in the summer. The one thing I did not expect to see was a full blown Brazilian Carnival, but Saturday was carnival day in Finnland.
