Parents are back in Stockholm!  They live in the suburbs.

image

We bus to distant shores.

image

To find a royal palace.

image

The king and queen live in this modest house.

image

But the real attraction is their quaint little garden.

image

It has quaint little statues of quaint little men beating quaint little dragons with quaint little clubs.

image

And a seagull.

image

It’s not so special.  You should see my apartment.

image

The parents sit on benches.

image

The parents sit on trees.

image

There is a moat where ducks munch on algae.

image

The moat (and ducks) protect the island where sighthounds run free.

image

“Did you see these flowers!?”

image

Eventually she notices there is also a statue.

image

Outside the palace there is swans and there is baby swan.

On the left, dad complains about the Swedish heat.  On the right, guards in silly outfits stare at a cannon.

It is strangely hot this week.
