Only in Minnesota can you go out on a Sunday afternoon when the temperature is a mere 2 degrees above zero and find kids of all ages ready to participate in a cross country ski race! Gunnar took part in the 2009 Barnelopet over at Riverside Park overlooking the mighty Mississippi just after lunch today. What fun that was! Both Gunnar and Hans had done it last year, but this year Hans was not interested. Gunnar and I went over and signed him up just in time to take part in the race for the 6-8 year old kids. As you can see from the pictures, even though it was cold, it was a glorious afternoon for a ski race. Gunnar did fantastic, coming in 6th place for his age group - he was a much smoother, faster skier this year. Orn and Hans did not make it in time to see the race, but Hans got to participate in his favorite activity associated with this event - eating tons of wonderful Scandinavian goodies! A great time had by all!!
