Fun in the sun

Today was a glorious sunny warm (~55 deg F) Saturday, and everyone in Asker seemed to be out reveling in it. We spent most of the day with Elin, Sofie and Johanne -- first at the gym, then outside to play with rocks, then over to the town square for lunch. Somehow that sequence of events just described does not convey the chaos and hard work that the day actually involved!Elin has a nifty ride-along platform for Sofie to go on when Elin is pushing Johanne in the pram. Of course Rhiannon wanted to ride on it too, so "Fia" was kind to share her platform.
Asker is having some kind of cultural festival this weekend, so lots of people were dressed in their traditional Norwegian costumes. Rhiannon and Sofie ran circles around our table, squeezing past other people's chairs and bumping into waitstaff. Nobody complained though - probably because Rhiannon and Sofie were smiling and saying hi to everyone - how could anyone be mad at these two?
Once we left the eating area, we Mamas felt more relaxed and then the girls could really dance, hop, wiggle and run around the plaza. Here is a brief standing-sort-of-still moment!
