First meeting with the cousin-kids

Around 3:30 in the afternoon we took our bikes downtown to visit Olle's uncle. But we were not there alone; Olle's two cousins showed up too. One of them has two little kids now, it was fun to meet them for the first time. One old tradition in some families in Sweden during Easter is to roll eggs. This game works like this: Each person gets one egg, preferably colored in a distinguishable way (painted by yourself) to differentiate them from each other. Then you roll your egg down a slanted brick (the waved one, used on roofs here in Sweden) in order to knock another persons egg. If you are knocked, then you are out of the game. Eventually there is only one person left, the winner. We played a kind kind of this game that gave everyone a price. Afterwards we had a really nice Easter dinner with all the traditional food. We have really missed that during our stay abroad.

We went home again around eight, it is convenient to live just 15 minutes bike ride from each other.
