Kolmården

James did great at the Day-Care. Can you believe he has been out walking with 6 other dogs at once – handled by one person at one time??? :) Yup, that would be my boy!

He spent 3 hours at the Day-Care on Wednesday, mostly to see if it would work and to give him a chance to get used to the new environment. And yesterday, Thursday, he was there the whole day as Mr. L and I went to Kolmården. Alih spent the first part of the day at home sleeping and the afternoon at work with my dad. His office is busy with people running in and out of the there the whole time, so Mr. Alih was busy greeting all the visitors. Hihihi... Since we came home kind of late, my dad had to pick James up at the Day-Care. And he was told Jay had been a very well-behaved baby this day as well. Ahhhh, THANK GOD! :)

When my dad called to let me know he had picked Jay up, he started the conversation by saying: “well, the damages Janne has caused came to an amount of ... “. LOL

PS. Did you notice the name, Janne? Janne is my dad's nickname for James. LOL...A Swedish name and maybe not the most beautiful name in the world. :)

But back to our day at Kolmården which is, I believe, the biggest Zoo in Sweden. However, having been to both the Wild Animal Park & the San Diego Zoo (in San Diego, California) we were both a bit disappointed to tell the truth. We went there because it would be a fun day trip, but also because a friend of ours was there with her kids. Our friend, Susanne, is a friend from LA and she’s in Sweden for 5 weeks with her kids, visiting her parents in Linköping. Susanne also had some fabulous “treats” for me. Hihihi.. You see, I asked her before leaving LA to buy some items for me that I can’t get here or items that are too pricey in Sweden. In my Goody-Bag were make-up from Dior and Channel, some stuff from Victoria Secrets and some other fabulous items. :)

Here are pics of some of our new friends at Kolmården:






We finished the day off by going on an aerial cableway ride over-looking the park.
