Naturally we had lots of fun with Jakob and Emily too......

Daniel being led up the inflatable steps to the slide by two determined little cousins

Daniel and Emily racing down the inflatable slide, missed the speedy Jakob lol

Jakob wrestling with the inflatables

Cheeky Emily in the inflatable house

Daniel, Jakob and Emily climbing yet another inflatable

Jakob was desperate to fight Daniel with the Gladiator inflatables, unfortunately the paddles were bigger than heavier than him, however, he made a valiant effort

The three boys doing their favourite activity, playing football in the garage

My brother decided on a great treat for  my two..............

Not sure who actually enjoyed it the most though lol

All Ready to get started.........

Waiting to get started..........

The race is on...........

Ironically after a week of hearing my brother telling my boys to let Jakob win...............He took great triumph in slaughtering my two on the race track!!!

Sorry Daddy............but these two were cheering for TJ to win

Simon delighted to come in first!!!

Followed by Daniel (just don't remind him he was lapped about 6 times) finally a tired but very thrilled at what he calls the highlight of his holiday.............. TJ

Various shots around the district that my family live

Of course...............IKEA!!!!!!!!!

Another delightful church, very similar to the one my brother and sister in law were married in almost 11 years ago

Someone has even built a castle for their home!!!!!!!

Looking out towards a little hamlet

The local swimming pool, as you can see, its an outdoor pool, all Iceland pools are outside, they keep the water temperature so warm, you don't worry about being outside, in fact on one trip I even swam in the snow!!!!

That wind can be pretty cold!!!!!!!!! Mind you Daniel did leave his coat home !!!! On a walk back from the local store

As you can see, with a coat on, it was definitely not so cold as Daniel's face suggests LOL

My family's home

We were driving along, doing some 4 x 4 driving in my brothers Landrover, we came across this beautiful Lake:

Took this picture,as we were driving along, had no idea what was behind the brow of this hill....................

From first view of this lake, we were amazed, the pics just don't capture the beauty of this tranquil lake

It really was beautiful

See what I mean..............The amazing part was the perfect symmetry in the reflection of the mountains, there was an amazing rock formation overhanging where we took the picture, as you can see from the corner of the picture.

Those same mountains, reflected in the lake, from the other side as we passed
