MALIN'S 5 YEAR CELEBRATION

Malin had three wonderful days of celebrating her birthday. We got to use our flag for the first time, and that was special!!

SUMMERACTIVITIES

Underneath you see the view from Haakons mom's patio. Isn't it beautiful?? Maren and Malin are being daredevils at my parents summerhouse, and I take a welldeserved nap:)

HANGING OUT WITH FRIENDS!!

It has been great to see all of our Norwegian friends again. Tonje arranged a little tournament with soccer and boule, and we were 37 with grown ups and kids!!

MEETING PRINCESS MARTHA LOISE OF NORWAY IN THE SILVERMINES

We took the train into the silvermines in our hometown, Kongsberg, too see the princess telling traditional fairytales. It was great. Our town is known for its silvermines. There is no industry in them anymore, but Haakons grandfather used to work there!

Preparing for Daddy to come home...

Haakon came home on his Birthday, so Malin, Maren and me were busy making the cake...and very excited to see him!
