17 May celebration, 2012



Early, busy,  expectations, wait, wet, cold, walk, stand, que, crowdy, happy kids, patient parents,
more busy, more walk, more wet, more cold, tired kids, tired grown ups. 
These are my words for this year's 17 May celebration.

When I asked my 7 year old daughter what she thought, she said:
"Best day ever"
!




Between the parades we went home to dry and warm up, and have something to eat. 
Our meal was sour cream porridge with buttereye, sugar and cinnamon, 
and on the side flatbread with cured meat, 
a 17 May tradition we've brought with us from our time in Bergen
Simple and tasty:)

  1. Ja, slik kan 17. mai også være. Ikke så ulik vår, men vi hadde oppholdsvær. Og ungene elsker 17. mai uansett. Våre er voksne nå, men vi har venners barn som fortsatt nyter dagen:)

    Flotte bilder:)

  3. Så fint du hadde dekket! Ser ut som om dagen vår hadde rimelig likt innhold, og så gøy at du har bodd i Bergen. Det visste jeg ikke :)

    Klem og god helg
