We visit an old castle one day. It is called Manstorps Gavlar. Below is a description from Wikipedia: 
Månstorp was an old manor, Mogenstrup. Its first known owner belonged to the Danish family Hack. Later it was owned by the family Bille, notably Eske Bille who furnished Månstorp with all the luxury of the time. As part of the Scanian compensation estates for the island of Bornholm it passed from the Danish to the Swedish Crown. The castle was given to the Governor General of Scania, Lord High Admiral Gustav Otto Stenbock but later served as the colonel's residence. During the war from 1675-1679 the castle was occupied by the Swedes and destroyed in 1678. The castle was never reconstructed following its destruction, tumbling down even more to become the ruin it is today.






Both Maya and Luca love helping with housework and yardwork. Hope they'll keep this good habit when they're teenagers. :)



The coolest Farfar in the world


What a nice kiss


Maya and Luca, especially Luca, rarely watch TV. But they finish their lunch early today, so mama lets them watch a Chinese children's program called Qiao Hu (A Cute Tiger). They love it. Look how attentive they are. As for mama, she has to admit that she enjoys having a peaceful meal. 


Luca riding the lawn mower. He doesn't enjoy it as much as Maya does. But he'll surely like it better next time he visits farfar and farmor. 


Mama pulls the cart for Maya and Luca. It's a good workout for mama. 


Malin and Maya's tadpoles are growing really fast. Unfortunately we're heading home tomorrow so we won't be able to see the moment when they're released to the pond
