The Vikings and one Irishman visit the Viking countryside






Tom joined our family on a trip to Norway just a month after he asked Krista to marry him. Because of scheduling conflicts Tom arrived in Oslo a day after us. His jet-lagged state did not stop him from enduring a very long first day of sightseeing and even participating in our mimicking of the statues in Frogner Park.

We have a tradition of taking “jumping pictures” which are simply group pictures of us jumping in new surroundings, in this case along a Norwegian fjord. In order for all of us to be included in the picture we set the camera on some convenient object, set the timer, count 1, 2, 3, jump, and jump. The problem of course is in the timing, knowing exactly when to jump to capture all in midair. Being new to this tradition Tom at first jumped straight up with hands in his pockets but after just two or three of our 30 or so attempts was the star showing us all some new moves for future jumping adventures.
