Winter at the Beach

One of the first places we visited in Norway was the beach.
Norway has a lot of them, and a lot of World War II history to go with them.
The boys think that is way cool and have a lot of fun exploring the old
"pill boxes" (hide outs and trenches) every time we find them.
They are solemn reminders to me of what really happened . . .


We are always very happy to see blue sky and sun in Norway
when we get it. Isn't it beautiful!


Sand, hills and plenty to find and explore . . .
perfect for the whole family.


Here is one of the boxes mentioned earlier.

Adam crawling out.


Don't get too wet Eli! I could say that a million times,
but I don't think he ever hears it. If there is water around
or rain falling from the sky, he gets wet even in full rain gear.
We have really been working on that one,
because his feet don't like the water on them very long . . .


Cool reflections.
I should mention, this was in December. Thus the winter coats.
It was cold and frosty.
It has felt cold and frosty here lately too. Only it is June.
And we aren't wearing winter coats (except, surprisingly, Mary Alice).
