The past few days have been packed full of so much fun and catching up that I have neglected to remember to post anything! Saturday started with flying from Stockholm down south to Malmo to visit three more of my au pairs; Sarah, Anna, and Emma, plus their wonderful families! After arriving on Saturday we drove to Helsingborg to walk around and see the views. After lunch at a meze restaurant we went down to the beach, though cold it was still beautiful and you could see Denmark!
The beautiful Saint Maria Church
Tower that belonged to the Medieval fort
City Hall
We then drove to Emma's house to drop off my stuff before walking over to Sarah's for dinner to meet all their families. It is crazy to see how big they are!!
Hide-and-go seek time!
Chocolate fondue
(Leon, Tyra, Andreas, Mio, Tea, Anna)
Emma and her son Mio
On Sunday we headed out to Kullaberg, it is so far west that my phone thought that we were in Denmark!! It was so beautiful, we started out at the coast before driving up and seeing the cliffs. At the top there was a lighthouse and little discovery center where you could touch aquarium animals. We then went off to Vala, one of Sweden's largest malls for lunch and shopping. This is actually the same mall that I went to the last time I was in Sweden in 2002. The mall has changed a bit but the "old part" of the mall still looks just as I remember it!! After shopping, it was off to Anna's for dinner and dessert.

Teaching me Swedish
They still have the quilts my grandma made for them on their beds!!
On Monday, I got to go to school with Sarah!! It was so much fun being a part of her English class and getting to see what a Swedish school looks like! (More information on this in tomorrows post ;) )
It was hard to say good bye to everyone, but I am so happy that I got to go visit, even if it was for just a short while! I hope to go back soon, maybe with other members of the Owen family!!
