Norskis in the Park

Today our local Sons of Norway lodge (Hardanger Lodge) had a picnic at Optimist Park. 79°, sunny, slightly breezy . . . perfect weather!

They say that one ought to eat colorful foods to maximize nutrient intake. (Please overlook the sodium and sugar intake. And dessert isn't even pictured!)

Some lodge members played kubb before and after the meal. It's a yard game that originated with the Vikings, whose game pieces purportedly were the skulls of their enemies! Coincidentally, the U.S. National Kubb Championship is just today wrapping up in Eau Claire, WI. Maybe we'll qualify for next year's tourney.
