I always had dreams of building an amazing snowman. A big one with a carrot for a nose and some other creative tidbits. It was on my bucket list. But then when I got to the snow and started the make one my hands nearly froze off (yes i should buy mittens) My hands shut down and my brain went into survival mode so this is the extent of my awesome snow man.
Hopefully I get time for more practice :)

The Dutch take their warm summer days seriously. Everyone, it seems, heads out to the parks or waterways to soak up the sunshine. Saturday it reached 25 degrees in Amsterdam, what better way to celebrate then a massive water fight in Westerpark.

Siri is another of my beautiful norwegian friends. Her and her family have been so amazing to us the last week, having us stay in their home, tasting all their home baked delights and taking us up to their cabin in the mountains. I love the grass roof, the blue and white porcelain and all the homely touchs. What a treat.
