Canoe-time in Sweden

During a very hot summer day, we decided to go with W on his first canoe-trip in southern Halland (read about it here, in English).
The teams: Grand-dad and Tara in one canoe and Dad and W in the other.

 We stopped for lunch after a few hours and as we started to paddle out on the lake again, we were suprised by rain and thunder. It literally soaked us in less than 30 seconds. Tara and Grand-dad made landfall on the starboard shore and Kim and W on the opposite one. After 15 minutes the weather changed, the intense rain stopped, and we had to get back into the canoes again to go back to camp for some dry clothes. (There would have been dry clothes for us in a backpack, if it had not been for "Someone" tipping that canoe over once they tried to step out of it. That incident also sent Grand-dad flying into the water! Nice job, Mom!)
