Snapshot Norway // A Photo Diary Week 4


It's been almost a week now, since we returned from Norway, and it is amazing how quickly you adapt back to British life... our last few days in Norway were magnificent. The sunshine finally appeared for the last three days, and though it was late coming, it made us all the more thankful for it. We spent our final weekend with some of Dave's cousins and their families and it was so lovely to watch the kids have a blast together... I'm always so thankful we went down this multilingual route when I see the children playing carefree with their Norwegian cousins without any language barriers or confusion. It is such a gift.

We are home now with so many memories. Beautiful, invigorating, inspiring... I am so thankful to God for the gift of going back there every summer, and for the amazing wild and free childhood we are able to offer our children while we are there. It is idyllic... and I do realise how blessed we are to have family out there. We miss it already.

So here are few photos from our final week (and watch for the change in the weather as the photos go on...!)






 




















 



 










And this... watching my boy, sitting in a tiny tide pool, covered in water and mud and having the time of his life...

This is what summers are for...

    Great photos too - they must love their summers in Norway.
