Wings? We don't need no stinking wings!

Well we are back from a long, tiring, super fun weekend in Lillehammer, Norway. For some of you the name of the town probably rings a bell, but for those of you that it doesn't, Lillehammer was the site of the 1994 Olympic games. We had put together a mini "Amazing Race" game for the kids, complete with clues and tasks for them to accomplish while making our way to Lillehammer. Sam was more enamored with the race idea than Sara was, but secretly I think she had fun with it too. More on some of that later.

The highlight of the trip was our trip to Kanthaugen at the Olympic park where we went tobogganing. The movie I have included below is the best way to describe it to you. We had a blast! This ranks up there on the life experiences list. Screaming down the hill with either the 13 year old or the 4 year old laughing and being a kid. Sam even asked me at one point, as we travelled back up the mountain, "Why are you laughing so much dad?". I hadn't even realized I was. Here is the video from someone elses visit. They do a good job of capturing the action.
