BYU Synthesis

BYU Synthesis band came on tour to Norway! We decided to make the 1 1/2-hour trek down to Sien to see them play. It was Saturday, July 3. They were playing in the town center.
Pretty town!
We really loved this family that we met there (they were involved in hosting the band): Vidar, Lillian, and their 5 kids. They invited us for ice cream at their house!
Then we followed them to a barbecue with the band members. The lake-side setting was gorgeous! The music was pretty good, too 
It wasn’t a perfect day–we were tired and the kids had their issues–but I will remember it fondly for a long time because of the new people we met, the beautiful scenery, and the taste of home!
Wow, it does sound like the sacrifice was worth the gain for this experience. How neat that you met the people you did and that they brought you in to experience the familiar amidst the unfamiliar
. Beautiful city, you guys are really optimizing your time to experience all you can. (look how old the boys are looking!)
