St. Hans continued...

Here are some of the photos I didn't have time to add eariler. The kids had such fun catching crabs, meeting cousins etc. Sabrina played with her cousin Ane, she doesn't speak english too well and Sabrina's norwegian is a little rusty so there was much pointing and nodding and yet they had a great time with smiles and hugs as they left each other. We are all still very jet lagged, sleeping in until almost 1pm today. I woke up at 2 am last night and couldn't go back to sleep until almost 4am. We're all in adjustment mode right now and I must say that the children are doing famously. Trying new foods, loving the bread and cheese we find at Farmor's house. Espen favors, of course, the chocolate spread for his toast! I'll try to keep all updated on our comings and goings, it is not so easy without my own computer, we hope to have that up and running in a couple of weeks, until then it may be hit and miss for a while!


Here is the photos of the Silver & Gold Bank, it was the building that was turned into the Bonfire last night. The first photo shows the beautiful scenery you'll find about a 10 min walk from where we are staying. It is also where the kids catch the crabs (see further down).

The Diner. There was ice cream and treats being sold here during the party. There were tons of people there around 2000+.

William is being held my Tante Elisabeth. You can see Kenneth's nephew and mother in the background. I love his little Roots hat!

Pappa's shoulders, the best seat in the house. Behind Espen you can see the "Real Neils" playing.

The crab catcher!

Apparently cousin Therese captured all the big crabs for the kids, she was bravest (according to Espen).

That's one big crab (there are much bigger ones we can eat that the fisherman catch, these are just found in the little bay under rocks etc. They are usually very small and tiny, but they found a few "BIG Ones!").

Sabrina and Ane.
