Happy 4th from Norway....

-

This is my favorite Foto for Friday.... it was the 4th last year. We American mothers (3 of us) took our kids down to the 4th of July Celebration in Oslo. Huge festival where Americans from all over the Oslo area get together & listen to Norwegians sing country... watch pee wee football & eat LOTS of "American" food.
Unfortunately, we had to miss the party this year... but we did spend the day at the pool... WOO HOO.-... This is the first time I have been to an outdoor pool since moving to Norway. wasn't too bad.
Hope everyone has a safe & wonderful 4th... maybe next year we will be home for it.... (A girl can hope)

That's a really cool photo !!!

Americans also get together in NZ and hold 4th July celebrations. I'm rather looking forward to going home and having all these extra holidays to celebrate, in honour of the two Americans in my family (husband and son-in-law).

What with NZ holidays, it's going to be a year long celebration!

Happy 4th July !!!!

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood...

A visit to the ICE AGE....

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long...
