Oslo, alive with possiblities

We walked on the roof,
Strolled, while men and women of steel and stone danced.
We lived in a castle and
sat at the feet of Nobel Prize winners.
We ran circles around a T-Rex
 but a seal, an owl and a bear followed us home.
We travelled the world with Munch,
then sailed home on a Viking ship.


How much of this trip will the kids remember? I don't know.
Is it worth spending money taking them to museums and forts and art galleries? Absolutely!
There is so much I thought to write about the value of an experience like the one we're having. In the end, anything you choose to do together as a family whether it is hiking, swimming, building puzzles or riding, take the time to enjoy the moments. Don't wait until...well, whatever it is that we wait for. The kids to be older or for them to truely appreciate everything or a gap in busy schedules to open up. This is it, make the moments count. "I am not a teacher but an awakener" Robert Frost. I pray that I am both for my children.
