The first few days of our trip found us at the lovely home of Karl's syssling (second cousin), Andreas Larsson, and his family. Some highlights:
Skansen, the open air museum of Stockholm, features a children's zoo with kittens that play with literally hundreds of pacifiers. When a young swede is ready to give up his or her pacifier, it's popular to bring them to the zoo and "give" them to the kittens.
While Lilly-Karin couldn't speak directly to her young cousins, they manage to bond with soap bubbles, watching Bob the Builder (in Svenska) and running through the sprinklers.
