The last couple of weekends...

Time to catch up with a new blog entry as it will probably be several weeks until the next one. We are taking three weeks of holiday starting next week (local here in Norway), and I probably won't be blogging much.

We have spent the last couple of weekends in Feda (shocker!).

This pic is Lexi and Tim catching a fish two weekends ago. Lexi thought it was fun until the fish started flipping around in the bucket on the boat (final spasms, etc.) and there was blood underneath him. She got some splatter on her and she really just wasn't sure about fishing any more. The next day, when she and Tim went out to catch (and release) some crabs, she asked "Do crabs have blood inside them like the fish did?". So, it obviously made a big impression on her. Today (nearly 10 days later), she explained to me that Pappa had stuck something in the fish (a knife) and then the fish was dead. So, she has now accepted the facts...

We had the pleasure of having a "girls" weekend this last weekend. Our friends Deb, Elita (3-1/2) and Lailah (almost 2) came to visit from England and we met-up with local friends Jacinta, Grace (3-1/2) and Rachel (almost 1) for a fun few days. I confess that I did not have my camera out very much; so, I will wait for Deb or Jacinta to send me any good group pics. Deb and the girls arrived Wed afternoon and spent Thursday wandering around Stavanger with Jacinta and her girls (I had to work and Lexi went to daycare). Thursday night was a grill party at Jacinta's where Tim and Joe were invited (needed the men to man the grill) and Friday was a fun day at Metro Lekeland (indoor play place). Friday night, we headed to the boathouse in Feda for the rest of the weekend. The guys mysteriously declined to come....

Lexi would only "cheese" for me and my camera...
