4th of July

We heard about a big 4th of July celebration (for Americans) at Frogner Park in Oslo! This park is amazing! It is HUGE and beautiful, and there is a really famous collection of statues in the center. It shows people in all phases of life (naked people, but we figured that keeps it timeless and natural). There were music, booths, food and activites (including a classic car show), as well as a large crowd of people, at the celebration. We had ourselves a good time!
Carl and the kids having a freedom “devotional”:
We took the train to get there!
I am loving your Norway posts! LOVING them, sometimes achingly, tearfully, but still loving them. Dont they have the best playground at the Frogner Park? Our kids loved it.
Hi Victoria! Yes, Frogner park and playground are the best! I don’t wonder that you miss it all.
Now, I think that is a wonderful thing. To see the juxtaposition of living in another country and reflecting on the blessings of being an American. I was wondering how you fared your first 4th in a foreign country. There is a special feeling of being on foreign soil and feeling love for your own homeland so far away. I remember being pretty emotional experiencing that. I am impressed such a celebration exists and that you found it.
