Have a Valentine picnic with Norwegian waffles

Once upon a time (About 6 years ago) there was a Norwegian woman and her daughter. They were all alone in a frozen empty city park. She just wanted her daughter to have other children to play with like she did when she was a kid, outside in all kinds of weather. She even resorted to bribery, enticing passing by parents and their children to stop for hot chocolate, coffee and homemade Norwegian waffles.

A heart in a tree

Last Friday we went for a skate only to find the skating rink covered in rainwater. We still had some fun outdoor time playing on the snow mountain and climbing trees.

Have a picnic with ham and cheese horns (crescent rolls)

Last Sunday I visited a Norwegian friend in the Toronto area and we went for a hike and sledding trip. On the trip she served us tasty horns filled with ham and cheese. So yummy! Next time we go for an outdoor adventure we are going make these treats before we hit the trail. These horns are very fun and easy to make with your kids.
