Skiing at Alta

Alta is our favorite place to ski because there are no snowboarders (sorry to those of you who love to snowboard), and because it was founded by Norwegian Alf Engen who named Alta after a town in Norway (hopefully that helps Tor feel a little more at home?). Kristoffer and Erik are becoming much better skiiers, and I'm improving a bit as well, so we're venturing into more difficult terrain. It's a great way to spend the day together in the fresh air and beautiful surroundings, not to mention the excercise we're getting!

Finally, Hair Cuts!!!

Figures, Kristoffer's teacher would be the one to convince him to cut his hair! Not as short as I would like, but that's ok, it finally happened, and he was happy with it. Erik, on the other hand, was mad and depressed for several days after his trim. But he's gotten used to it and has decided it's a good length.
