Norway

We had an awesome time on our road trip to Norway. I highly recommend taking a drive on the islands called Lofoten in northern Norway. The cabins were cozy and the weather beautiful. The best part was spending quality time with my two favorites.







Sunday (the day we left) was spend celebrating Alina's birthday.




Texas was in position and ready to go! He rode up there the whole time. We left Sunday night around 10 PM. We wanted Saga to sleep and she did until we stopped to sleep as well. She crawled in back with me and we finally fell asleep.





Our first night was spent in the car.





Axel slept outside in his sleeping bed. We woke him up because we were HUNGRY and wanted to go get some breakfast!!






Cabin #1




Trying to stay cool in our first cabin of the trip. Loving the bunk beds!







Beach in Narvik, it was so HOT!




These shoes were wore while, in the carseat, for about 75 % of the trip.



Saga really wanted Texas to wear her hat.



Trolls trolls everywhere. It seems to be a very Scandinavian Thing.






A little down time was needed while watching a movie.


The view from cabin #2.



Dinner on the patio. What a wonderful place to be!






Our cabin is the one right behind us with the grass roof.



The theme of the trip was "bunkbeds". Saga loves bunk beds and three out of four cabins we stayed in had them. She was THRILLED to say the least, up down up down. This is probably classified as a bunk bed but whatever it was fun!



My girl!!




We found a great beach just two minutes from our cabin. Hours were spend looking for glass and shells. It doesn't go to capture the beauty in a picture.


Saga really wanted to go up on that rock.






Papa was more then willing to find a way to get her up.


Enjoying the outdoor faucet.


A cup of coffee while waiting for the ferry to show up.





We took a 4 hour ferry ride to our last destination.



A very tired little girl on the ferry



We head outside to get some fresh air and wake up a bit.



Axel having a snack before bed. Our last stop was at Jenny and Andrea's cabin on our way back home.



Home Sweet Home.




Saga is into face painting right now. We're cats, can't you tell???
