The Regulars

Lukas and i have been having lots of fun at our neighborhood playground these days. It's not that fancy or anything but there are some great perks like... A - we have come to know quite a few of the neighborhood folks/kids there B - around our apartment and playground area there are smultrons, hallons(rasberries), vinbär and even blåbär(blueberries)!! C - there are 2 wild hares running around.

Today, Lukas started off by eating some smultrons + hallons, then we saw a stream of big ants marching with little twigs, food(dead insects) and when we arrived at the playground he was greeted by his 2 older daycare mates(Emton 5 and his younger sister Imra 2.5) with a big shout of his name and a hug. After that, they went everywhere where Lukas (& I) went, insisted sitting next to him and trying to hold his hand constantly. I thought this was very amusing, but Lukas not so much :P Then they shared their vinbär pickings and even showed us the big ant hut(?)!! I wish i had my camera, it is huge and really impressive!! I will try to take it next time. Last but not least, on our way home he got to bang/kick some big pipes that's been piled here and there in the hood and we chased one of the hares again(saw it really close yesterday) . Whew.. what an exciting afternoon!

Wish i had pictures of his wild berries & dirt smeared face...instead here is a picture of him watching the Graffalo with Johan right after dinner.

P.s. That rubber shark Lukas is holding is one of the few items Johan has found while he was sorting out his old stuff from the attic. A shark he got when he was in New York in the early 70's!! It looks mean and scary but makes a really cute fun squeaky noise when you squeeze it :P
