Mom went on a yearly jeep trip for women this weekend. They stayed at a hotel and drove onto the Vatnajökull glacier. As you can see they had terrible weather the whole time. As they got down again there was a 4,5 Richter earthquake just after midnight under the glacier.

I suddenly decided to start speaking when we came home from Akureyri. Maybe some of you will visit to Iceland or Sweden some day. Then this dictionary of mine might come in handy.

Then I immitate these animals; cat,dog, duck, pig, chicken, sheep, lion, tiger, bee. Next time I post we will have a three hour exam so you'd better study.

Here I am chewing on a piece of wood I found in the garden. If you climb 2 flights of stairs with a piece of wood holding on to it the whole time you are allowed to keep it afterwards. I have yet to find out if Dad lets me sleep with it as well.

This is how all kids look when wrapped in 100 layers of clothing and tied down in the car.

We visited the brand new, fancy gas station Staðarskáli on our trip to Akureyri. It had a playroom with a kid´s fire extinguisher! What do you think caught my attention the toy table or the fire extinguisher? Click on the title to learn more great tricks.

I haven't had time to post the pictures from Akureyri. If you ever go there don't miss the skiing facilities, the water slides in the the outdoor swimming pool or the café in the blue house on the last two pictures.

The trip to Akureyri is an almost 5 hour drive so you have to make a lot of stops when you travel with someone as impatient as me. Here is another gas station stop when I checked out dogs.

Update: This was what the red lights looked like in Akureyri. Not all of them but some. Since we were there on Saturday I don't know if it was something related to Valentines Day or if they look like this all the time? It was kind of disappointing when you didn't get a red light.
