Description
Hi!
We are a friendly family living just outside Uppsala in Sweden, (a university town 70 km north of Stockholm). Here is a short description of us and what we need.
My name is Tomas and I am a single father of three kids whom I have every second week. They are aged 12, 14 and 16 (boy, girl, boy). We live a very active life including sailing, boating, skiing, tennis, playing musical instruments, etc. We live in a big old house just by Sweden's third biggest lake. Since we live a little bit outside town (15 minutes), it is preferable if you have a driving license.
