We headed out to the main island in Oslo fjord and enjoyed some picnic and fun in the sun. The kids love splashing around in the water and collecting dead jelly fish!

Reading With Grandma — July 6, 2010 at 3 pm |
||
|
|
||
|
Grandma brought a lot of great books, and she enjoyed reading some of them to the kids. There was some downtime during her visit when I was sick, so it was nice to have someone to keep the kids quiet!

Mom brought letter shape cookie cutters and we decided to make pancakes with them, too. It was a little time consuming, but totally cute!

After our big tour of the fortress we stopped by Auntie Lauren’s to help her test out her new tub. We brought popsicles and played with the awesome bubble set Grandma Wendy sent.

Visiting The Fortress — July 2, 2010 |
||
|
|
||
|
We visited the fortress over the harbor because it was a place in Oslo Grandma Susie hadn’t been yet, and I thought it would be quiet for a picnic. There weren’t any places to quielty sit for a picnic, actually, that weren’t being ominously patrolled by big-hatted guards, so we sat at the cafe and watched them walk around. The fortress itself was great and we enjoyed steeping ourselves in the history. 700 years old, I believe (some parts)!

I made a new pair of warm pants from the sleeves of this old cardigan. Grandma Susie bought it in the 80’s and I inherited it when we were living with them in 2002. It’s been floating back and forth in my wardrobe, barley used, until it got slightly moth eaten and became never used. I patched up the holes with some embroidery and creative darning, and they fit perfectly! Now, what to do with the rest of the sweater?

Chris Playing with Camera and Cube — Jan 9, 2010 at 9:10 pm |

I’m not sure if he actually kept any of the pictures that he took of the Rubik’s cube, but the camera looks so crazy with the big macro tube on it so I had to take a picture!

Bubble Morning — July 1, 2010 at 10 am |
||
|
|
||
|
We had a bubble street party during Grandma Susie’s visit. Grandma had brought some extra-long bubble wands that came in light-saber-looking bottles. Fun!
