Today's visit to Gripsholm Castle

Today's visit to Gripsholm Castle

We took a long holiday! The children's school has been closed today due to a teacher-only day, so I took the opportunity to do mommy-school instead:-) We went to Gripsholm Castle to see kings, queens, princes and princesses. I also made sure we had a guided tour in English. Since it's low season, there weren't many people there. None of us had visited the castle before. There were many pictures on the walls and many rooms we got to see. We were so lucky that we got a private tour. The guide was very good and kept the interest of all the children. About half way through the tour the guide asked if we had any questions or concerns. Ellen quickly replies, "I love My Little Pony!" It took a while for the guide to catch on to the comment, I think she was thinking of a question or comment about her presentation.

Ellen continued talking about Twilight and all the other ponies before the guide took over and continued talking about kings and queens:-)

I would love to be 4 years old for a while. To be so spontaneous all the time, to show emotions from head to toe, to live in a small world without so many worries.

ps. Of course we took the opportunity to dance a little at the castle too! ds.

Thought of the day:

Why don't you remember so much from when you were that little?
