Norway Days 1 & 2

We made it to Norway! Despite a delayed flight, which led to a missed connecting flight to Oslo, we finally arrived on Monday. We spent a low key day with Hester and Andreas - sleeping mostly. (Who can sleep on an airplane anyway?)

Here we are in front of Hester's building.
Our first outing was to Frogner Park, down the street.

It is an awesome park. Beautiful and green. Lots of spaces to picnic, play, or lay in the sun.

This park is also the home of the statue collections by Gustav Vigeland. They are all nude (which Aspen was embarrassed by) and a bit wierd. But supposed to depict the circle of life.

They lead up a broad stair and promenade to this pillar of bodies.

Lots of fountains too.


The kids' favorite parts of the park? the fountains

and the playground.

It's going to be a fabulous vacation.
