I know I said I'd be here on Monday, and here it is Wednesday, nearly Thursday, actually, in Denmark. We had such an amazing experience over the weekend. Yes, you are seeing this correctly: the children are sitting in a hot tub while sailing through the fjord to Norway. Though it began to get more and more foggy as we progressed, and though the hot tub was really not quite warm enough, we had to jump into our suits as swim, just to say we did it. I'm so glad we did.
The weather in Norway was surprisingly warm, or maybe I should say, not too terribly cold, for Halloween, the day we were there. I decided this was our best Halloween ever. Our family doesn't celebrate Halloween, so we normally don't do anything very significant that day. This was an easy claim to make. Truman and Jude, however, were very bothered that I said it was the best Halloween. "But we don't like Halloween, Mom!" I hear you, boys, but nevertheless, we sure liked this Halloween.
