Trip to Stockholm

On Thursday Oct 8th, we went to Stockholm for a few days. We did IKEA and worked on picking out some stuff for our kitchen and laundry room, and on Friday we renewed Haylie's american passport at the Embassy and then went to Skansen. Other than that, it felt like we spent most of the weekend in transit: ferry, bus, and subway.

The Embassy

Haylie did some horseback riding.

At Skansen you can go in the Lemur exhibit with the Lemurs, or in with various monkeys. The Lemurs are funny, because they bask in the sun in a meditative position. Haylie was nervous about monkeys jumping on her so she wasn't all that thrilled. I was more nervous about monkey poop falling on me as they were checking us out from directly overhead.

Moose

We were just in time for owl feeding. Haylie liked watching them swoop down and take the food from the keeper's hand.


Haylie did get to ride a real pony, which she did very solemnly and seriously. She loves riding.

We got to watch one of the horses being curried, which she liked. Stefan had to stay far away because the dander was just flying.
