stockholm weekend pics

we didn't plan this weekend very well.  with the gorgeous weather we should have been riding our bikes or frolicking in a park or hiking in a forest but at least we felt the warmth of the sunshine.  it was a quiet and relaxing weekend.  here are a few pics...

kai is #16, he blends in well with the swedish boys next to him.

finally, after four months of waiting kai has been placed on a team.  he played his first soccer (fotball, here in europe) match.  due to misunderstanding about the length of the game, stefan and i missed most of it (we had to go find our caffeine fix). we felt terribly guilty about it but there will be more matches in the near future, like next weekend!

we ate a delicious meal at pelikan.  they serve swedish cuisine like herring, meatballs and reindeer.  i had the mushroom risotto which was very good, full of flavour and i think the ambience of the place contributed.  wood paneled walls and faded murals. it feels like a place that was popular before south sodermalm was the place to be and considering the restaurant was packed full, it still is popular.

stefan and kai geeked out at the science fiction fair!

   

stikki nikki, the ice cream shop, opened it doors this weekend and so, of course, we indulged.  we've been told it's the best ice cream in stockholm and it didn't disappoint.  each of our ice creams - lignon berry yogurt, pistachio, chocolate - was full of flavour.  the ice cream is made daily, it's all organic with no artifical flavours, and one of the shops is dangerously located just around the corner from us.  to read more about nikki, the person, visit glasskoll.se.

our neighborhood movie theatre

we went to our first movie in stockholm!  the three of us wanted to see the new avengers movie. i love all the marvel movies so you won't get any criticism from me.  it was wonderfully spectacular. 

hope you had a lovely weekend too!
