The parade was great. It was long with lots of things in it, but it moved fast so we didn't get bored waiting for it to be done. By comparison, the 4th of July parade in Afton (which we attend yearly) is SUPERLAME. The floats here were fun to see, and lots of groups (bands, dancelines, etc) were performing. People threw lots of candy, and even some creative things, like 100 calorie packs. And, of course, it featured Sven. He was the highlight. As his car approached, I ran with my baby out into the street and screamed, "Hi Sven!" to which he responded, "Hello." It was great! So, we're pretty much best friends now. I kid. But it was pretty cool! So, if Sven ever googles himself, and he reads this blog, he will now know that he talked to one of the contributers (along with hundreds of other people, who may or may not have blogs named for him).
Sounds like fun, sorry I had to miss it. So you and Sven hanging out this weekend or what?
ReplyDeleteI heard he was supposed to take part in the previous weekend's Norway Day festivities at Minnehaha Park but had to bow out on account of the severe weather we were having. Apparently there were a lot of disappointed people who were there just to see him. I'm assuming "a lot" means "ten."
ReplyDeleteI would have been pretty upset if Sven had been forced to bail on our parade due to weather problems.
ReplyDeleteHe does a fair number of community things, but I usually don't find out about them until afterwards. He should tell us about them ahead of time on his blog. I, for one, would have loved to see him dance around the maypole in Afton.
