Day 6 A Birthday to Remember!
Today I turned 28 :) ....Its amazing how time flies by. I started the day off great! Enjoyed a nice Norwegian Breakfast with my wonderful family from the north. After we ate they serenaded me with the Happy Birthday song :) Fredrik and I went off to take a nice scenic drive through Senja Island. It was about 210 Kilometers(130 Miles) and took us about 5 hours. I really enjoyed the quality time of talking with Fredrik about Norway, getting to know more about him and his family. We came back to one of my favorite Scandinavian dinners Reindeer meat :)
It was also Fredrik's youngest daughter Linnea's Birthday! she was turning one..
So a birthday party was scheduled and I was able to meet the majority of Mona's family and they were so nice. Mona's mother even made me a cake! How Sweeeet! I was so thankful of there generosity.
The night was coming to an end and I was hoping for an icing on the cake close!
Well I got it!!! Fredrik looked outside and saw the forming of something in the sky... I walked outside with him and we saw the forming of The Northern Lights! I ran and got my Camera and over the next 30 minutes it grew larger and larger with such beautiful colors! I was so happy because that was one of the things I really wanted to experience while being in the area.
