A Day Out at Skansen

Skansen is an open-air museum that debuted in 1891 to show an increasingly industrialized society how people once lived. There are over 150 period homes and farm buildings assembled here that were preserved and transported from all over Sweden, portraying the life of both peasants and landed gentry. Native flowers and trees are featured throughout, as well as natural habitats and a zoo of the Scandinavian animals. It was an amazing adventure for us all and a great family day out!

And need I say it again, G loved seeing his family history first hand and sharing it with all of us. If little G and I hear, "Look, I think she may be my cousin!" one more time I'm not sure what we may do to our Swedish family head! You think I'm kidding, but oh, no, no kidding here! We sat at dinner last night and G had us look at the people sitting at each and every table to identify similar facial features and general mannerisms that resembled his. No joke! To know him is to love him!

G is hoping to stay in his homeland permanently, but this gaggle of geese has other plans. I haven't laughed quite this hard in a long time!
