Happy Easter to our Norwegian Family and Friends

Dear Lerhol Family and Friends:

For the last ten days Sondre’s best friends from Norway, were in Minnesota for a visit.  They were exceptionally easy guests.  Seriously!   They are welcome back anytime, especially if they bring more Norwegian chocolate along.    

While they were here they experienced a number of things, including:

·   Dinner at Spasso…a local eatery that serves wonderful food and provides great ambience.  They got to meet Courtney, Ryan, Amelia and new baby Maxwell.

·   A trip to Minnetonka High School with Sondre.  One morning, while Sondre was still in school, the boys went to school with him.  When I asked them how it went, they said, “It is very big.”  I then asked if there were any cute girls there, and the both responded with a big “YES”. 

·   Shopping.  They supported the local economy by shopping at the Mall of America, Ridgedale, Apple Store, Uptown, Albertville, and the local grocery stores.  

·   Scott, and the boys attended a Minnesota Timberwolves (Basketball)  game…not a great game, but fun anyway.

·   They saw a couple of movies while they were here.  One of them was at the IMAX in the West End.   

·   Burgers at the Snuffy’s…eat your heart out Knut. 

·   They got a lot of exercise.  They ran and rode bikes and they “slept in” a bit too.

·   They saw the Wild win in a shoot-out. 

They had a picnic at Fort Snelling....

All and all, I would say they had a successful trip to the US; we sure enjoyed having them. 

Tomorrow morning we leave for a week of relaxing in Florida…fun, fun, fun with the Paulson's, Stewarts and Lieb's. 

Sondre has been practicing his golf game so he can golf with everyone in Florida.  He is strong, but needs a little more work on his technique.  :)

We will post pictures from Vanderbilt Beach AND Disneyland.

Happy Easter all,

Love from Scott and Alix.
