Another day in paradise?

Sleeping beauty, ie Alice in her stroller, Johanna, Karin and Jan with his broken foot in his "stroller".
We have passed yet another day with sunshine, walking along the ocean, lunch outdoors and simply just relaxing. I can't believe we are going home tomorrow - a week has passed oh so quickly!
Alice has caught a slight cold. It doesn't seem to bother her that much, but her voice is coarse as if she'd smoked too many cigarettes and drank too much whiskey... It's kind of cute, but we try to keep her from talking too much. The pacifyer (which she normally only uses when she goes to sleep) is semi-effective, she still manages to let out cries of delight for example when she sees a bird. I wish we could record it and upload it, it's so adorable.
The funny thing about vacation is that in spite of snow and ice and cold and bulky winter clothes, we're still a bit home sick. Our apartment, our bed, Alice misses her friends and "öppis" ie the community daycare centre. Maybe this is even the best part about going away, realising that there is no place like home.
(But give us a week and we'll be oh so sick of the cold again)
