Here we have my youngest,Susie, in her little costume, ready to go and watch her big sister in the parade.
And here is Maja, ready to walk in the parade with her class mates. 
I was quite amazed that so many children had national costumes. I had kind of forgotten, since it's almost 10 years since I last celebrated 17th may in Norway. The last 3 years were spent in Edinburgh on this day. At least there is a parade and some sort of celebration there... when we lived in Inverness there were nothing....And this is the ONE picture taken of me yesterday.... I guess I'm always the one holding the camera...
And what a novelty... hubby had time to join us for the parade before he had to dash off to work...
Ice cream is compulsary on 17th May...
...and so are hot dogs, fizzy drinks and more ice cream... and fun and games like sack race, walking on stilts, throwing balls at tin cans etc etc...After driving hubby to work, the girls and I went for a BBQ at a friends house. We had a good day... the girls really enjoyed themselves and so did I.

Moro med 17. mai. Ser ut som dere var heldige med været. Det var vi og for en gangs skyld. Jeg ble jo faktisk litt solbrent i pappen..
Jammen bra at jentene fikk nok is! 17. mai uten is går jo ikke an.
Koselig 17.mai bilder.Alle jentene var jo så fine.Det var jo selvfølgelig Daddy også.Godt at dere er i gamlelandet igjen sånn at det kan feires på skikkelig vis,med is og pølser,tog og musikk. Men det var jo ei flott feiring i fjor også.Morsomt å gå på gata med bunad i andre land.Blir jo litt ekstra oppmerksomhet av det.Det er jo alikevel noe eget med norsk feiring.
Klem til de flotte jentene fra Mormor.
Hurra for 17.mai! Det så jo ut som om dere hadde det fint!
Gleder meg så til å møte dere igjen til sommeren!! Og møte Judas!! Det blir i hvertfall artig, lurer på om han husker oss... hmm...han jo tross alt liten hjerne...
It looks like a wonderful day for the children to celebrate. When we lived in Wales on March 1st there was St David's Day where the children dressed in national costume. It was very good fun and a way of them learning the culture and history.
Skikkelig koselig 17. mai feiring! To flotte jenter på nasjonaldagen;)
koselig!! Blei litt rørt!! :-)

Last August I'd been in Norway, and I was absolutely enchanted by this clothes. :o)
Så fine dere er.alle tre!! Er blitt vedlig hot med bunader til menn de siste årene også, og jeg synes det er så stas at guttene våre vil bruke bunad!! Ha en fin langhelg,Tonje!!
Oh! Anne Marie was telling me about national Day.. what a wonderful parade. And the children look adorable. Ice cream.. if it was hot outside they'd be dripping all over the costumes. Yikes!
So much fun. You look wonderful too.
Så flotte dere er i bunadene.Litt misunnelig på den nydelige Nordlandsbunaden din:)Ser ut som dere var like heldig med været som oss.Ha en fin kveld:)
Hei Tonje!Så kos dere hadde det på 17mai.Var nok stas for jentene dine.Minstejenta var med musikken hele dagen. I borgertoget var hun med Rabakoret.
Håper du får en fin helg videre.
