破けたズボン Momo-chan pants ripped

Momo-chan was climbing a tree with his friend and when he was about to come down from the tree, he got stuck to a tree branch. So his pants got ripped like this. Big holes but no injuries to Momo-chan. Pinga is hoping her mom can fix the pants but we will see what she says...

Carport picknick

After Pingu went to pickup Momo-chan from daycare, they decided to snack and bit. Momo-chan turned a bucket upside down and used it as a chair so they stayed away from the drizzle rain under the carport roof.

Jungle gym?

The rural café was out of food because it was late in the afternoon so they went into the back garden. There they found this adventure trail with lots of wooden obstacles. Momo-chan liked it a lot.

Tirup garden café

Pingu and Momo-chan went to this rural garden café. Outside the entrance they found this interesting winged creature. There were more statues like this inside too.

Geo-caching

Today Momo-chan and Pingu went geo-caching for the first time. It is like treasure hunting with a GPS. Momo-chan was excited and they prepared well with muffins, water and a flashlight.

Old style lawn mowing

Momo-chan for some reason likes the old style lawn mower. It is old and rusty so it makes a lot of noise,  therfore Momo-chan is wearing the green hearing protection.

James Bond?

Momo-chan was dressed up for disco dancing and birthday party yesterday. It was nice and sunny so he wanted his sunglasses on. Nice look Mr Bond.

Bye bye Denmark

Pinga enjoyed afternoon at Louisiana a lot. They took a train to Helsingør and then ferry from there to Helsingborg.

Photo exhibition

One part of Louisiana collection was photos. In this alley, they displayed hundred photos of people from a baby to hundred year old. Interesting series of photos!

Sunny day

It became sunny when they got to Louisiana. Sculpture garden outside was nice too.

Louisiana

Pingu's brother took Pinga to Louisiana museum in Denmark. One of the exhibitions was called Riverbed and it was indeed indoor riverside.

人参マフィン Carrot muffin in the making

Pinga asked Momo-chan of he wants to eat banana muffin or carrot muffin. Momo-chan chose carrot muffin and of course he wanted to help. So here he is shredding carrots. Pinga was worried if he will get hus finger injured.

Momo-chan learned some disco moves. He enjoyed the class.

Dance train

There were twelve kids and three instructors.

Dance class

Momo-chan went to the dance class for the second time. Today's theme was disco so the instructors and some kids had glittering clothes on. Momo-chan was shy and wanted to be with Pinga at the beginning but he was fine without her shortly after.

Late playtime

Today Pinga went to the gym so Pingu and Momo-chan decided to go to the big playground that they usually call snäckan (the sea shell). On the way there they saw these nice red leaves and decided to take a photo.


At the playground they had lots of fun and played until it became dark.

Skrylle with friends

After the fika they joined up with some friends and went out to try the zip lining again at the Skrylle nature park.

Lunch and fika

Yesterday Momo-chan stayed home from daycare because it was closed. Pingu was home with Momo-chan and they went to pickup Pinga for a lunch downtown at their favorite pizza place.


After lunch they went home and picked up some sweets and brought to Pingu work and had some "fika" with Pingu's colleagues. Momo-chan was shy like usual but drank a lot of hot chocolate and was happy.

Jump and jump

Pinga went to pick Momo-chan up at daycare. They were jumping off from this table one after another.

Pocky break

Pinga's colleague who was in Japan came back with these Pocky. So they had pocky break. Very nice!

Hello again babies

They went to see kittens and mom cat again after dinner. Momo-chan likes the smallest one best and he wanted to take her home. Pinga likes the Grey one best as it reminds her of me. Just a week and they got bigger.

Shovel cars

Other kids were plating a game together but Momo-chan and his friend went straight to those shovel cars and were digging for quite a while.

Candy time

Finally the candy time. Add you can see, they were very focused on their candies.

Att the playground

One of the clues was hidden at this playground. They looked this happy after finding the clue. One more clue left to get to the key.

Finding clues

The candies for kids are in the bag but it's locked. In order to get the candies, kids needed to find the key. Key can be found after gathering five clues hidden outside.  Good luck kids!

Adult fika corner

They have prepared a lot for parents too. But there were only four mothers stayed at the party with their kids. The were 12 kids in total.

Birthday party

Then Momo-chan went to his friend's birthday party. She turned five. Her mom made this beautiful cake.

Birthday party invitation

Momo-chan's friend came by to deliver an invitation card to his birthday party. Momo-chan was happy. Hmm what to bring as a birthday present...

Knatteskutt dance

Pingu and Pinga signed Momo-chan up for some dance activity by the company Knatteskutt. Yesterday was the first time. Momo-chan was a bit shy but after a while he enjoyed it and wanted to to things on his own. Their was no real dancing going on this time but more getting to move and get to know each other. Next time it will be disco theme.

Zig Zag café

Pingu decided to visit a highly rated bar/restaurant called Zig Zag café that Pingu, Pinga and Pinga parents tried to visit in June. Only people above 21 are allowed so Momo-chan could not enter and that is why they never went in. Pingu got their burger and tried a long drink. They are very good at cocktails and the food was good. Not sure if it was great enough for a second visit though.


The last photo is of a rather odd sightseeing spot in Seattle called the gum wall. Pingu walked by it on the way to the Zig Zag café. It is massive amounts of chewing gum stuck to the brick wall along a path leading down from the Pike Place market. Gross!

The Seattle EMP museum

The conference social dinner was at the Seattle EMP (Experience Music Project) Museum. It has quite a unique architecture and nice exhibitions that were open to just those at the dinner. Pingu was very excited about the Science fiction and horror movies exhibition and he said hello to the alien monster. There was also an exhibition on the world famous Seattle band Nirvana. Maybe you can recognize the T-shirt Kurt Cobain wore in their Smells like teen spirit music video.

Hello again Seattle!

Pingu attended an academic conference during last week in Seattle. He did not stay at the harbor steps apartments but he was rather close (Motif Seattle hotel on 5th avenue). It was nice and sunny and Pingu wished that Pinga and Momo-chan could be there with him.

Cake time

They had apple cake and cinammon roll break by the river. Momo-chan made a snail out of a cinammon roll.

School kids

There were high school kids from Lund checking water quality. They caught frogs, fish and cray fish. Water seemed to be very clean. Momo-chan was very curious and talked to some of the students.
