While the babies were sleeping, we headed down to the playground for a last visit. It was too cold to jump in the water, but the farm animals that live next to the playground loved the cool weather and were out in force. Anastasia made friends with a cat, and said goodbye to the pigs and sheep that live there.
We also spent a good deal of time in the sandbox before heading back to load up the car.
Soon it was time to hop in the car and head to Töreboda, about three hours’ drive. Anastasia had control of the camera for most of the way, so we have a lot of pictures that look like this:
Upon arriving in Töreboda, we moved directly into playing. The house looks much as it did when I lived here 19 years ago, with a few updates, including the glass enclosed porch, which is a lovely place to play restaurant.
In the evening, Eva and I helped Lotta and Janne with some of the wedding preparations.
The next morning, Eva took Anastasia and me on a drive to see the sights of the Göta Canal. First up, a visit to Lina, the world's smallest ferry. When I lived here, I went across the canal this way twice a day with my bike. Orlando took the passage when he visited several years ago, and I was very excited to show Anastasia. She enjoyed the ride, too.
Next, we went to a miniature version of the Canal, where, on warmer days, children can splash in the waters of the Canal. On this day, we just played a bit on dry land, and then went on to see the locks. We were lucky that we got to see a boat going through the locks, so I was able to show Anastasia exactly how a boat climbs a hill.
Next up, farms and animals.
