Summer...

...finally we have some indication that summer is here. Granted, we usually don't get too many warm summer days here, but last year, for instance, we had 4 days where we could go to the beach in swim suits before June 26. Now we haven't gotten even 1!! Yesterday was nice, though, and the forecast is for more of the same. Here's hoping for a nice and warm July!!

Meanwhile, I've been scrapping LOL

We always go camping every year, usually for at least 2 weeks straight and then for some shorter trips. In 2004 we took our older daughter for a camping trip around Iceland. She was 18 months and we took it really easy. Little driving, lots of outdoors play and lots of walks. This one place, we went hiking up a little mountain between two glaciers. She got a ride on her daddy's back on the way up and fell asleep in the backpack - when we were up, she woke and we had a little snack and then she decided she wanted to walk herself. She loved it - stopped a lot to enjoy what she saw - and it was great to watch :) This is her while exploring a piece of wood on one of the paths...I used Lydia Kurniawati's (silversword71) gorgeous Happy to be ME kit, available at Shabby Pickles...And, my little one turned 2 on June 26 (probably mentioned that before LOL). I can't believe how time flies!! Since her birthday was on a Thursday and a lot of family lives quite a distance away, we decided to have her birthday party on the following Saturday. This photo is her, in her birthday dress and fairy tiara, busy helping decorate her cake :)

I used Cinzia Loosemore's gorgeous new Celebrate kit. The actual kit is part of the Digital Freebies kit club for the month of July, but Cinzia has a huge and gorgeous add-on to the kit that you can buy separately. I just love this kit, it's perfect for each and every celebratory occasion!

Lastly, I did another layout with Lori Wiley's gorgeous new Hidden Secrets kit. It's just too wonderful for only 1 layout :)
We went on a walk yesterday since the weather was nice. My little one wanted to sit in her stroller while my older one wanted to go on her bike. When we had walked about 500 meters Matthildur announced that she wanted to walk - and walk she did. Or actually she ran - full speed - for the remaining 3,5 kilometers of the walk. In between running, she sat down on lava rocks and waited for mom, who tended to lag behind, too busy with the camera to bother with keeping up LOL. Anyways, this is Matthildur on one of her "waits" :)

And here's Lori's gorgeous kit...I hope you are having a great weekend!!
