9th of July

We went on a daytrip to Boel’s and Mikael’s summerhouse.We had so much fun playing the old Swedish game “Kubb”.
A new experience for our American friends.

First team out were Georgia/Val against…

the team from Florida, Gayle and Kayce.

Argenta’s Caitline also enjoyed playing Kubb.
It wasn’t that fun to have Catie on the team as she disappered with the wooden sticks. Jolla on the other hand retrieved them back again.

Joy and Argenta’s Mini Absolut Agnes were watching the game from the trampoline.

Jean and Gayle watching Val and Georgia winning over Mikael and Kayce.

You could hardly see that Gayle never had played Kubb before. She looked like a pro.
