We gathered few friends with children. For the first time in my life in Gröna Lund, we stayed from the opening time till it get darks when we left at 20:10 in the evening.
I was surprised that Gabriel and Gustav rode almost all the rides that permits their height accepted entrance. I bought for him an Åkband, is like a band tied around on his wrist which entitles him to go on any ride as many time he wants to.
I admit honestly that there are some rides which he took that day, making me nervous to let him go. Somehow I know if he wants to try, it is better letting him try and decide the feeling for himself. At certain point, he said that some rides are making him nervous too.
Kvarten was one of the ride that I am almost could believe he went on it as he is only 6 years old. When I saw a boy who is slightly older than him shouted on the ride,"Mamma" and almost crying on that ride, I felt to run inside and take him out but I have to control my freaking feeling. Then he came out sitting next to Kvarten. I was shocked of happiness. He did it and he came out saying that he would not take the Lilla Musen after tried the Kvarten. He was scared for sure but he wanted to try it again later.
Sandra, Gabriel and Gustav.

Gustav and Gabriel on a children free fall.
Children car ride. Trying to sent them on to all the ride possible since we have bought the Åkband which is actually worth it.
Melissa and Dad, Bengt Nilsson.
Another Children ride on Mini MoseRides.
Stop for a short break and had Muffin and Kanel bulle.
Gabriel and Gustav on an Octopus rides. This has a height requirement as it is quiet scary looking. Gabriel felt little nervous on this one but still he loves it and went on the 2nd time again with Sandra.
The 3 small witches.
Bengt has to show his face on this one as trying to convince his daughter Melissa.
Sweet little Melissa.
This is Kvasten the one that I felt worried about. I did not get to take good shot of him on this ride as it goes very high and very fast. He is sitting ride at the back which two small feet dangling.
Blå Tåget translated as Blue train. It is scary it is dark and scary figures, I dont know what but they were scared.
The bumper car.
This is from the Lustiga Huset. Suppose to be Funny House. I been in once. Not funny but lots of difficult scary movement to do inside and to go through and at the end ended up on this carpet which Gabriel and Gustav is on was not nice feeling at all for me. It falls so steep, so high, so dark and so fast. They liked it but I never like it anyway.
Aida(my Singaporean friend) with her daughter Melissa and Vel.
How sticky he gets from those candy.
The love tunnel which takes them both around on a small boat.
We took a break here. Tomas is seen with coffee and some muffin on his hand each time we sat down. He ate on every spot we sat.
We were shocked when Gabriel and Gustav came back with a big dog. They won. Here how it goes. Gustav and Gabriel wanted to play some games and I was tired after following them with all those rides, so I convince Vel to follow them and gave her some money. They played once and Gustav won the bonus price, then Gabriel played one more time and won the first price. It was just by luck that they both won. We hardly won anything big like this for a long time now.
Therese also won a small teddy bear for herself.
The flying frog. Not easy at all.
Ladybug ride.
Later they took few more ride before we decided we going to sit and have our dinner.
Even we sat for dinner and after ordering their food, the kids run again to take few rides before waiting for their food.
It was a long day for everyone. We left Gröna Lund at 8.10 in the evening. I can say that it was one of the longest day I spent in Gröna Lund and Gabriel took almost all rides and many times in each rides too.
We will be there again next summer.

Your posts are always very interesting, if I come to Sweden now I have an advice for a place to go with Anita. I tagged you for an Honest scrap between mothers... You find all the infos on my blog. :-)
Thanks Barbara. Gröna Lund is a heavenly place for all children of any ages and I am sure Anita will enjoy herself if you should bring her there someday.
Will take a look at the Honest scrap now.
