Weekending: Cargobikes and Soapboxracing

This weekend was all about sunshine and cool rides. I took the kids + 1 playdate on a trip around the old moats in Christiania, Copenhagen on Friday. It was the best start to the weekend with icecreams, dandelions and lots of sunshine.

On Saturday we drove up the coast to go to the cousins annual joint birthday party. Anton wanted to try out their new Pennyboard and fell and sprained his ancle really bad. Poor daddy! Worst thing about it though was that we had an important event the following day: The Volkswagen Annual Soap Box Race and he was supposed to be the fiery engine!

We had to ask granddad to come be our "Bob the Builder" and I had to step in as very slow replacement engine. Ella was the designated driver and this girl has the most incredible natural talent for racing and driving:-) Unfortunately my talents as engine didn't get us into the winning finals, but we did however, win the Cours d'Elegance for best style - YAY!

We celebrated our fab style with dinner at Papirøen in Copenhagen, at the Copehagen Streetkitchen place. I had the most amazing soft mexican tacos there, something I haven't been able to find here in Copenhagen before. We highly recommend a visit there. Lots of different food stands to choose from and sunshine and harbourlife for entertainment.

I hope you guys had a fab weekend too and went on exciting playful adventures.

Weekending: Bike Wash Kids

Living in Copenhagen we all have bikes. Actually I have two bikes! A classic Christiania Cargo bike and a dutch style pink ride:-) Even Elvis, my son who is 2 years old, rides his little Puky learner bike to daycare every morning.

Copenhagen is quite a small Capital and really there is no better or faster way to get around town then on your bike. Being in Scandinavia we never know wether we're riding in heavy snow, cold rain or warm rays of sun, but you can be sure that most Copenhageners jump on their bike to go to work no matter the weather.

 Last weekend the kids spring cleaned their bikes out on our balcony and they had a blast doing it. So I thought I'd share this simple idea for a perfect weekend project with your kids.

All you need is a bucket full of water, kitchen cloths, maybe a dishwasher brush or a sponge of some sort and your good to go.

I promise the kids will love it!
