Excited about new school

Illïus went to meet his new classmates at his new school 'Vasa skolan'.  Named after King Vasa, the guy that sunk his battleship...  pretty tragic and silly story.  The king got a real nice ship built, but was not happy with the amounts of cannons on board.  He added a few extra and sunk the ship in the harbor.  Good going King Vasa.
 
 
The school is in the far back, that pink building to the left of the yellow houses.  This is a typical street here.  Xavier was allowed to come as well.

 
Illïus doing what he loves the most.  Climbing around on monkey bars at the new schoolyard.  He is soooo happy to be there, and is quick to try new tricks.

Cotton candy bliss

Believe it or not, we actually missed the faire in Nyköping.  I felt so bad, because Anïas, Illïus and Xavier had been looking forward to the cotton candy more than anything.
 
To our great surprise, one of the largest faires came to our new time this autumn about a week after we had moved in. We found out about it from all the helicopters flying around and I went online to learn 'what may have happened'.  On the city's newspaper feed it told us that the faire was in town.  We quickly headed down and oh joy! cotton candy.
 
 
Illïus got his cotton candy first, and he laughed so hard.  It was gigantic and looked like a smurf hat bobbing when he shook it around.

 
Xavier was speechless over his over sized cotton candy... enough said.

 
Anïas thought his might have been on the smaller size.    Dear me...
