New Year's Eve

Trondheim celebrates the new year with fireworks - all over the city.  It was a fun sight to see.  At 7pm, there was a firework show at the festning for the children.  We walked out to the corner playground and watched the show with neighbors.

Dave wanted to record it on the flip camera, only to realize that Sam and Adrian had eaten all the memory on the camera with videos they made of their Lego creations.
Walking back home, following some neighbors with torches
At midnight, there was a huge fireworks show from the festning for the grownups.  The fireworks are made by the firework club at the university, and they were spectacular.  What a way to bring in the new year - Dave and I were out in the backyard in the crisp winter air, just counting our blessings.

  1. Why hasn't America caught on to the idea of fireworks on new year's eve? It's the perfect time of year 'cause it's dark early!

    1. In Trondheim it gets dark very early for First Night, like November and then it doesn't get light until February. But it's still very beuatiful there.
