As I shared on Saturday (HERE), our William turned 12 years old. It really is hard to believe!
We had a fun weekend celebrating him, and enjoying some fantastic weather. It was around 23 - 25 C (73 - 77 Fahrenheit) most of the weekend, with lots of sunshine. So most of the weekend, you could find us outdoors!
Friday afternoon we picked up a friend at the airport who was visiting us for the weekend from England. We then met up with friends to grill at the beach. It had rained in the afternoon, so the evening was a little cooler. But the boys and one of their local friends decided to go for a swim. Everyone is estimating that the water was around 10-12 C. The only word I can come up with is crazy.
After that, we headed to William's football club for the grand opening of their new artificial turf fields, and to celebrate the club's 40th birthday. Daniel was excited to meet some of Sandefjord's players!
Saturday night, William chose to eat at his favorite place: Star Grill. It is a small kiosk in our town that serves excellent burgers.
Then the boys were off to the small tivoli downtown (carnival). They enjoyed three of the four 'big' rides. They both looked a little green afterwards!
We finished up with William's requested dessert: yellow cake with chocolate frosting, and of course, 12 candles.

Saturday we went for a hike, then came back to the house for lunch and William opened gifts.
(He received his gift from us several weeks ago: a much-needed new bike)
Sunday was spent with more friends. We started off with brunch at our house. We introduced some of our friends to a true southern breakfast: biscuits and gravy, bacon, grits, breakfast potatoes, and grits. Then after a nice long walk, we finished it off with dinner at a friends house, and even got to meet a new family that has two boys almost the exact same ages as our boys!
I think it turned out to be a great weekend for our entire family.
