The difference with this year is it is just that, a year. Not a vacation, but a chance to try and live differently for long enough to create change. To set routines into place that are harder to do in our normal life and live life as intentionally as we possible can. There is a challenge to that. What do we need to do to make each day the fullest but not have this pressure to have everything perfect? We decided before we left that everyone would have the mornings to do as they want but that we will all get together for 7:30 yoga / strength lead by a different person. Following yoga is breakfast, planning the day and then days without a big hike or plans, school work until mid afternoon with an evening jaunt. Today was just that sort of day. We are both clearly not school teachers and so that part we will be learning with them as we go. Today after we got our work done, and explored and by mid afternoon we were super hot. We ran into our very kind airbnb host who recommend a local swimming pool that goes into the ocean and off we went. The clouds were starting to build, but we headed down and after much deliberation everyone jumped into the ocean before a huge rain storm hit and the very Norwegian sauna saved us!
Little one working on her book report as she has already finished the two assigned books for Norway.
Little one joined me this morning on a walk instead of a run, she wanted to see the morning before all the people started to come out. It was really nice to just have one on one time.
She just wanted to see the green church on our walk, so we found it.
Ok now they are just making stuff up ;-)
"Are you kidding me? There is no way I am jumping in the ocean!"
15 min later they were both in the water without life jackets
Why let the kids have all of the fun?
