What a great weekend! Yesterday I.K. and I went to watch "Birkebeinerrennet" at Lillehammer. It's 54 km long crosscountry ski race. My dad was attending it, but unfortunately I didn't see him during the race. There are many thousands racing, so I guess it would be hard to notice everyone. Anyway, I.K. and I borrowed my mom and dad's car, and drove up to Sjusjøen. We took our time and stopped for a few minutes by I.Ks house in Moelven on our way there. Then we came to Sjusjøen at about 1230. We were hoping to see dad or someone else we knew, but we weren't patient enough to stay for more than about an hour, so we drove down to Lillehammer and watched people coming in to the stadium for a while. I know dad passed us, but I didn't see him.

It was a beautiful day. The temperature was good and the sun was shining. I.K. and I had brought home made pizza for lunch, as we had left overs from supper on friday. I learnt that coke is not a good drink for an outdoor trip during the winter. I felt like I should have been drinking hot chocolate or something, and for some reason it just didn't taste very good out there in the snow. :)

Dad came with us on the way back. We were all tired when we got home. I was suprised, because I didn't think I had been doing anything tireing, but obviously it must have been tireing to drive so far and to get all that fresh air. It's a great feeling though, to be tired from being outdoors.
