Nia, Cris and Gabriel came back from their trip on Saturday afternoon and by then we had acquired another visitor -- our friend Jim from San Diego! We had a gorgeous sunny Saturday evening so all of us stayed outside until bedtime -- the kids riding in the wheelbarrow, the adults drinking fine wine and all of us enjoying the live guitar music provided by Jim. Here are Gaby and Rhiannon thoroughly enjoying their ride in the wheelbarrow.
Uncle Cris pushing them around the yard
Jim playing guitar and not singing
After the kids were in bed, our friend Solveig came over for dinner and games. Here she and Jim are showing off their blueberry & red wine teeth
Sunday morning we had a pancake breakfast for everybody (except Solveig, who had gone home to sleep). Tryfan ate 5 blueberry pancakes all by himself! Blueberries are ripe in Scandinavia right now, so the shops have plenty of fresh Norwegian berries to make yummy concoctions with.
After breakfast, we all headed into Vollen and took our canoe - the
SS Meerkat - out for several paddle outings in the fjord. Everyone got to go in the canoe at least once (except Tryfan). It was a very calm Sunday but by ~2:30pm the wind picked up and we headed for home. Here are Rhodri, Solveig, Rhiannon, Jim, Cris and Gabriel getting ready for the first outing.
Tomorrow is our last full day with the Lewis-Marcico family :-(
