The events in Germany are at the court calendar, so they are now official work events.

On Wednesday the king, Daniel, Estelle, Oscar, Carl Philip and Chris were seen at sea in Borgholm with the king's boat. Carl Philip took care of the boat's fenders while the king drove the boat and took the family on an hour's boat trip, among which they drove into a bay. Estelle was in a good mood and laughed.

Expressen's royal commentator Karin Lennmor writes at her chronicle about the summer holiday of the royal family.
The season is so short on Öland and quite soon after the festivities around Victoriadagen, tourism decreases.
But at Solliden it is still vacation. When I met the royal couple last week, I was wondering how it felt having all the children, grandchildren and dogs around. Silvia said nothing, looked just happy, but the king exclaimed spontaneously:
- Messy!
The royal couple live alone at Solliden Palace, Victoria and her family down at Villa Skönvik and Madeleine and Carl Philip with families share Kavaljershuset.
The day at Solliden follows its routines. Queen Silvia tries to continue the tradition and do the same things with her grandchildren which she did with her own children. That is important for the queen.
- I always take a morning walk in the garden before the park opens to the public. Then it's pretty quiet and I look at the seven wells that have been buried in the area, the queen has told.
When grandchildren wake up, it is time for a visit to the henhouse. And then to Silvia's absolute favorite place: the kitchen garden.
- To eat and grow own vegetables is absolutely amazing, said the Queen. And it's wonderful to hang out with the grandchildren in the kitchen garden. There is so much to look and taste.
The king likes spend time on boat with children and grandchildren.
When Solliden Park is open to the public, the royals go down to the boat house. Nowadays, Victoria and Daniel are also hanging out at their Villa Skönvik. Several of the Crown Princess couple's friends also come for a visit during the summer weeks. If Victoria and Daniel want to make excursions with the children, Lådbilslandet (Cartie Country) and Kamelfarmen are said to be favorites.
When the crown princess has got older and has her own family, Öland's importance has also grown. This is where you can relax and charge the batteries.

King Carl Gustaf and queen Silvia were already on Thursday in Germany, in Göhren-Lebbin. They stayed there at the luxury hotel Schloss Fleesensee.
"It was a great honor for us to welcome King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia", said Hotel Director Harald Schmitt. The king and queen left on Friday.

The monochromatic light blue is rather annoying. If they were trying to make a nod to the Swedish flag (?), they should have mixed it with yellow.

PS: Oscar is not amused, or so it seems. Nicolas looks grown-up with his long hair.

They’re taking this color coord. thing seriously:D. Nice picture though.
I think the idea would’ve been for Leonore and Estelle to sit on either side of Grandma, and Madeleine to carry Nico, but you know how that would end.
 
Lovely colour coordinated family photo!
 
That's a lovely family photo and I like the colour coordination. Nicholas looks so grown up too!

Haha Madeleine has a tight grip on Leonor!

I thought the same, it looks like Leonore wants to run off again and go on another adventure :D

PS: Oscar is not amused, or so it seems. Nicolas looks grown-up with his long hair.

It's his cute little grumpy expression he seems to have inherited from Garl Gustaf :D

As a child CG was a smiley baby; he got grumpy old.
 
Lovely photo :flowers:

But as great color coordinated as it was, Madeleine and Sofia stick out like dire thumbs in taupe. If you are going to go so monochrome, need to go all the way. They look odd against all the blue. At least if they were in yellow you could say it was a nod to the flag.

Madeleine learned it seems to stop her little explorer from being on the go :lol:

Oscar is doing a good impression of grumpy grandpa. ?
 
I wonder how long Leonore and Nicolas stayed where they were supposed to be?

As you can see long enough ? And seeing how Leonore's hands are restfully folded in her lap, she seem to be content in her mother's arms.
Its very nice that all the kids are looking at the camera.
 
I hav to say that I like the colour-coordinated photo, and that the beige dresses of Sofia and Madeleine is enhancing the blue of the others. Well played!
 
Svensk Damtidning writes about Victoria and Daniel's summer holiday
Lovely summer life - ice cream, grilling and golf
The time Victoria and Daniel are having with their children in Öland is blessed. Now there will be coziness with children and a lot of love. The family's Villa Skönvik is located very beautifully, well separated from the fine Palace area. Victoria has been on the island all summers since her childhood and shown all her favourite places to Daniel. Daniel has taken Öland to his heart. He likes to be here, wakes up early in the morning and plays morning golf at one of Ekerum Resort's fine 18-hole courses. Sometimes his wife comes with him to the Resort. On some mornings they take long walks at Alvaret and relax on the afternoons at the sunshine by Kalmarsund. Victoria takes a breather from all her birthday celebration, while the children are playing. Victoria, Daniel and the children go also to Solliden Palace, the king and queen's private summer palace. At the Palace area Victoria and Daniel get free of their SÄPO guards and can enjoy about freedom, summer and each other without supervisory eyes.
- I love Solliden, it is our paradise, Victoria says. And it has become that for Daniel too.
Victoria and Daniel spend the evenings preferably just the two of them. Then they can take a picnic basket with with tea and cinnamon rolls and go down to the dock by Kalmarsund, only 200 meters from Villa Skönvik. They talk about what happened during the day and enjoy the stillness. Their love has grown more and more strong. Today prince Daniel is almost as popular as his beautiful crown princess. He can socialize with everyone, just like her. He is healthy and sporty, something which will be good in the future with the children's activities like tennis, golf, football and athletics. With a personal trainer Victoria is also used on training and likes to live a healthy llife.
During the simple summer life in Solliden they have also lovely excursions. They go with the boat to the sea and have perhaps lunch at a restaurant in Sandvik, like they once did and ordered the dish of the day, just like anyone else. They love to jump on their bikes and cycle to Borgholm, where they buy ice cold Piggelin from Pressbyrån. Strawberries they buy from "Pelle på Torget" at Bomans Torghandel. They have bought flowers, fresh fruits and vegetables from him all these years.
Prince Daniel likes that the ingredients are ecologial and well chosen. Every now and then he and Victoria go to Karin Fransson at Hotel Borgholm to eat well.

Victoria and Daniel attended Per Gessle's concert at Borgholm Castle yesterday evening with their friends. The other man is Johan Skarborg, who is a member of the steering group of Prince Daniel's Fellowship and a member of the board of The Crown Princess Couple's Foundation. Victoria and Daniel were in a great mood, laughed and joked with their friends and Victoria danced with the music.

Victoria and Daniel have attended many Per Gessle's concerts, at one already in 2003. In 2004 they were at the concert of Per Gessle and Gyllene Tider. And of course they have been at Roxette's concerts and Roxette sang at their pre-wedding concert.

Svensk Damtidning tells, that they have been told that Daniel and Estelle were today at lunch time at a playground in Kalmar, and they had fun together at the jungle gyms. No photos at the article. So the family is still in Solliden.

It was nice to see the photos of Silvia and Carl Gustaf in Saint Maxime. I wonder if/when Victoria and her family will join them there?

Victoria, Daniel and Estelle were there two years ago. But the swedish press has written many times that Victoria and Daniel don't like to be there because of the paparazzis. Victoria and Daniel usually spend about a week with Daniel's family also in August.

Ah okay, thank you for confirming that LadyFinn. I remember reading something about the paparazzi in Saint Maxime last year so I had guessed that was the case.
 
What a cutie he is and how big he is growing now, I can't believe she carried him while this far along .....hope the new baby is a healthy bouncing bundle of joy for both of them.
 
Victoria, Daniel and the children are back in Stockholm. A finnish woman met them when she was having dinner at the terrace of Stallmästaregården Hotel & Restaurant, and they walked by. She tells that they greeted her friendly, Victoria is very lovely when seeing her live and that she noticed Oscar first and thought that there is a boy who seems familiar. The woman writes that she didn't dare to take a photo from the front of them.
