Happy Syttende Mai!

I have recently made the acquaintance of several Norwegian people at town meetings I attend for work, so I'm now in the loop with the Sons of Norway organization in Charlotte. We took the kids to the May 17 celebration today, which honors the signing of Norway's constitution. I marched in the May 17 children's parade when we lived in Norway, and it was a treat to get to march in another May 17 parade today with Molly. Josh freaked out at the sight of the parade, so he and Chris watched from the sidelines.

Josh had no problem with Norwegian food, however, and he happily ate Norwegian hot dogs and creme cake.

The children were encouraged to draw pictures of trolls and vikings at the craft table, but Josh had no idea what either one was. He's not quite sure here about the toy troll he's holding.
