Måns’ mom Katarina, sister Malin and her husband Christian with their kids, Clara and Hannes, joined us for the third week of our Italy trip in Tuscany! We rented 2 apartments in a farmhouse that Måns and I stayed in after we were married 17 years ago. We swam most days, the kids jumped on the trampoline, threw pinecones from the treehouse, and we ate dinner outside most evenings.
The kids’ journal entries from Tuscany:
Leo: We went to Lucca and swam at the beach with 5,000,000,000 baby clams on a sandbank.
Max: We went to Löka (?) and went to the beach.
Leo: We went to San Gimignano and looked at 68 bag stores. *sob* (Please save me from this horror!)
