This week was Rhiannon's first week in the "utegruppe" - the group of kids that gets to spend all day out in the skogen (forest). She gets to go every day for a full week for 1 week a month, and this was her week (after we said goodbye to Gabi and Nia, of course). Here she is VERY excited, waiting for the taxi-bus to come pick everyone up at the entrance gate.
Running running for the taxi-bus with all of her homies.
She was doing a happy dance with her hands while sitting on the bus.
Even though it poured rain all day Wednesday, and still rained but not as hard on Thursday and Friday, Rhiannon LOVED her days in the skogen. They made soup over a bonfire on Wednesday, then cooked something else (can't remember just now) over the fire on Friday, and did things like pick blueberries, play hide-and-seek, search for frogs, go for a little hike, and sit in the lavvo-tent just discussing topics like love and marriage (!?!). A bit young for this, perhaps, but apparently one of the kids asked one of the teachers about this so it was discussed. One of the nice things about skogen days is that the teachers post a copy of the daily journal that they keep so that when parents come to pick up the kids, they can read all these details. Of course, it is all in norsk and there are usually some words I don't know, but now that our girl is in the big leagues I will make sure to find out everything!
