Birthday brunch

Then after playtime they went to celebrate Momo-chan's bonus grandpa who had his birthday celebration at the Stadsparkscafé in Lund. There were 16 people in total and many kids so Momo-chan was rather shy to start with. Tasty brunch too.

Jam mustache

Light graffiti continues

Here's Momo-chan painting. The board was double sided so the kids were painting on the both sides.

Water light graffiti

This was Momo-chan's favorite. Kids were painting a wall with a wet brush. The board reacts to the water and lights up. The staff dries the water by wiping and the dried part becomes dark again.

Another Lux item
