The family we are staying with here in Sweden love to go boating. They have a 30 year-old speed boat that they go on almost everyday. Their 17 year-old son, Albin, loves to whip people around on the inner tube. Its like trying to hold on to a merry-go-round going 35 knots in a circle. I also tried water skiing as you can see on the blog. Must think I’m pretty good at it…wrong! My mom took a picture of me in the few seconds I was up! But you just keep thinking I’m good at it and I won’t be ashamed.

Sometimes we even go out of the bay and onto the ocean. Albin was the first to inner tube out there. We were doing our best to make him fall off and finally he did. When we got him into the boat he said, “It’s @!%#ing cold!” and so we road off into sunset, warm and ready for the next day where it would be Albin’s sister, Filippa’s, birthday. She would be turning 12.
