First Night

We arrived in Sandviken around 7:00 PM and were hungry so after we checked in, we went to the hotel restaurant which in February was inside, but this time of year it was outside. It looked quite different in the town since it no longer has snow, they have many beautiful flowers blooming everywhere! 
It's a dark picture, but in the background is the restaurant with tents that can cover if it rains, it was pretty cool outside at 7:00 PM so we wore jackets and they had heaters hanging all over. 
The boys sitting outside for dinner!

After we went for a walk and came upon a park. It was about 9:00 but still bright out. 
The boys found a really fun climbing feature and used some of their pent up energy...
Then at the same park, we walked over a hill and discovered a mini zip line!  After the second time on it Alex said "I like Sweden!"  
Near the zip line was a really unique seesaw, it spun while going up and down and it was awesome!

We were looking for a place for an easy ice cream dessert, but instead went inside a restaurant that was empty except for us, the boys shared a banana split and the funny part was when we asked for water for them, they charged 5 kroner each (which is $0.80 each) which may be normal to them, but unusual to us. Oh well, next time we will know...
