We started the day inside with ipads, tv and newspaper. The weather outside was quite depressing, but the longer we stayed inside the more depressing it became on the inside. The kids arguing over ipads and the youngest was just grumpy. We had to get out! After lunch we got dressed and aimed for the woods, we drove as far as we could before there was too much snow on the road and parked. The ambiance was already great!
Here we are walking into the woods.
A sign showing direction to a cabin owned by DNT (The Norwegian Trekking Association).
Since we are members of DNT and have a key, this was the destination for our little hike.
We locked ourselves in, the boys arguing a bit about who was going to do it.
Well inside we lit candles and made up fire. The kids explored the tiny cabin.
In a cupboard the kids found some domino to play with.
We then enjoyed some hot drinks, coffee for the parents, blackcurrant toddy for the kids. We also had some nuts and biscuits while I was reading out load a story from Donald Duck.
Family selfie.
Then it was time for us to return back home. We cleaned up and locked the cabin and started the hike back.
We will definitely return, next time so we can spend the night. I love the possibilities the cabins owned by The Norwegian Trekking association gives us!
Thanks for reading!
