La-mama?

Once mom read me a book by a guy named Dr. Seuss (his real name is Ted Geisel, but my mom insisted on calling him Seuss, which is his middle name) and I think this la-mama character was actually IN the book. I wasn't really sure what to make of him in real life. Kinda cute, maybe, but not really worth touching.

Thars gold in them thar hills!

Last weekend, my cousin Zoe and my Uncle Tim came out to Bozeman to dig for gold. We found some in Nevada City, along with a bunch of garnets and bunny rabbits. Then we camped out in a cinder-block "cabin", which didn't suit me very well, so I got to sleep in the car while dada drove over mountain passes in the moonlight. On the way home, we stopped at Norris Hot Springs, which is my favorite if you don't count the local swimming pool when it's full of kids. The best part of the weekend was hanging out with Zoe and sharing my cats with her. She is SO cool. I could just follow her around all day...

As you all know, Auntie Jenny celebrates her birthday on the most important holiday on the Norwegian calendar. To celebrate with her, me and my mama came out to Seattle and doned our itchy (but lovely) bunads, gobbled down some salmon and salad at the best restaurant in Seattle, toasted the surprise of another Breen baby in the works, and marched in a huge parade in Ballard with our bunad-clad friends, the Strandoos. It was about ten hours past my bedtime, but I didn't care at all because it was the most exciting combination of sites and sounds I ever did see. Wow, those Norwegians sure know how to throw a parade!
