17 inches of snow...

... and the schools (and everything else) in Norway are open! Surprised? Me too, but then again, if Norwegians cannot handle snow, who can? This gives the rest of us hope.

The Copenhagen airport is a shopper's paradise. Even the youngest of shoppers. Charlotte seemed to be on the hunt for some kind of duck. I told her we could find a toy store and see if we saw a duck. She said big duck, so I found a big store. No ducks around, but sure enough in Scandinavia we found some trolls. She weeded through them, picking one up and saying, bunny! (one that was dressed like a bunny) and then man! (one that was dressed like a postman) and then cow! This one brought on laughter even after a 15-hour travel journey. She held up a troll dressed in a viking outfit... with the viking hat... with horns. Which to her was clearly a cow!
