Waffle Thursday
Every Thursday afternoon at our apartment complex, the office manager (Nicole) fixes waffles. This has quickly become a ritual with us. The waffles are eaten with strawberry or raspberry preserves and sour cream, if you like. Sidney and Kimber prefer theirs with just the strawberry jam and I like mine the traditional Norwegian way - raspberry jam and sour cream. There is no silverware - you just fold the waffle in half and eat it like a little sandwich. As you can see, Sidney has the idea down. She usually eats two waffles herself!
We also went swimming last night. The pool was nice, as they had a large pool for diving and lap swimming and another pool for kids. Sidney was able to stand up in the kids pool and still have her head above water. She quickly took to the slide and found she could do it all by herself without anyone to catch her at the bottom. Kimber was able to do some laps, but found the slow lane (which she thought she was is just a little too slow for her liking. She will try the medium lane next time. She will also try to figure out the traffic pattern, which didn't seem very organized, as they only had lane markers out for the "fast" lane.
Our Viking boat pulled out today just before a little storm came through. The boat had about 14 people on board and they all rowed it to the center of the fjord. They then put the sail up just as the wind in front of the storm hit and that boat was REALLY moving!
