Norway

My parents are finishing a three year mission in Norway and we finally got to visit them a couple weeks ago.  Paul and I took Liam and Adler for 10 days. Wow! it's beautiful. I don't think I saw one piece of trash the whole time we were there. My paternal grandma is from Bergen and my grandpa from Oslo. These pictures are heavily filtered as I had a hard time not clicking every 2 seconds..

This is my Grandma Hildur's neighborhood in Bergen...



My Dad, me, Liam, and Adler in front of my grandma's old home. During WWII there was an aircraft machine gun across the street from them.



Elementary school where Hildur attended

Waterfall on the drive from Bergen to Oslo





We climbed up behind the waterfall

Liam and Adler climbed/slid down the muddy way



Hooray for pictures!


The circles are mini fish farms in the Hardanger fijord

Lumber yard

What's Norway without a little snow??
We drove through walls of snow higher than our car. We stopped here to see the highest waterfall in Norway.






I get motion sick just nodding my head, so the 8 hour drive was a little dicey for me, but soooo beautiful.

More pictures to come...
