May 17th is Norway's Independence Day...We had a great time this year!
We start by meeting up at school & then all of the school kids march in the town parade...
We marched in the local parade & then went to my Uncles house for brunch before taking his sailboat into town for the BIGGER parade...
I spent most of the afternoon trying to collect as many RUSS CARDS as possible...
RUSS are kids about to finish school they are 18-19 years old & are going to go to the 
University.... (it is the same as being a Senior in American High School) On the first of May the RUSS will start wearing overalls decorated with a lot of different things that are important to them... they also have cards that they pass out to us younger kids.
