On Saturday, we took the bus to the beach in Sandvika. I later learned that this beach was just opened, and it is gorgeous. The water was cold, and I forgot a towel, but that didn’t stop Maddie and Ada who changed into their swimsuits on the beach and jumped right in.
I think I’m starting to see why this is such a family friendly place.
Here are some cool trash cans we found on the walk to the beach.
The beach! Ada starts by just putting her toes in the water.
But it isn’t long until we are swimming.
And splashing!
In the distance below, you can see a diving structure at the beach where kids would just walk jump and jump into the water—the taller platform seemed like it was about 10m. The other thing that was just awesome was a perimeter of freshly laid sod around the beach. It’s awesome to put your stuff down on the grass, and then walk onto the beach, play around, and walk back to the grass to get all the sand off your feet when you are ready to go.
There was also this awesome play structure we had to check out.
There are mermaids in Norway…of course when she saw this, Maddie asked if we could get her a mermaid tail.
