friday was a holiday--the big prayer day. nobody i knew really did any visible praying, but we were all thankful for a day off where the sun mostly shined. what we did was have a huge bonfire--should probably have saved that for sankt hans and burning (one of) the witches, but we didn't.
even small children were enlisted to carry large pieces of trees over to the fire.
we roasted hotdogs over the fire and the kids made snobrød (bread on a stick, baked over the fire). the fire was really, really hot and so people got in some seriously creative positions to roast their hotdogs and try to escape the heat.
there were lots of kids present
and a big dog
a medium dog
and a super cute little doggie which i was prevented from stealing,
but i came close.
but i came close.
we stayed up far too late and and drank far too much white wine.
but it was a beautiful way to spend a late spring/early summer evening.
it was also a little exhausting.
but totally worth it.
hope your weekend was fabulous wherever you were.

Awesome roasting action. And a dog I would also steal. That's the secret to having them housebroken.
Only went analog out of necessity (read: Zambia), you did better. Cudos.
That had to have been one hot fire! I'm so glad you explained why everyone contorted themselves in that fashion. All for the sake of a hot dog...
Way cute post! Looks like a fun time!
Nice trio of doggies! I particularly like your first photo . . . and the way that the flag is framed. (Is that bright yellow crop rapeseed?)

Cool dogs. Seems like you guys had a fab time!
A Great Dane. How apt :)
Great pictures! Looked like a lot of FUN! ;D
i would have stolen the dog. i want a pug so bad! plus i really miss my dog.
but that seriously looks like a lot of fun.
p.s. my word verification is underew. this has nothing to do with your post or my responce, but it made me giggle.
haha, you can really feel the heat of the fire when looking at your photos!
love the dog shots, of course :-)
the other kristina with k
Sounds like a happy peaceful day. Oh and I love a bonfire.
Looks like a lot of fun! My weekend was also glorious!
AAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! I have a pug! This is one gorgeous. I SO would have stolen her/him.
what fun....the white wine and the dogs were my favorite !!!
Oh how fun! What great photos, I love the first one especially.
I would love your recipe for bread on a stick. Later this week I am going to post a recipe for bannock which I suspect is similar. The area you are in looks lovely! Are you on a lake or a river?
LOL! Sounds like a great day.
adorable pug!!! love this - wish I had a hot dog on a stick right now.
Beautiful pictures looks likes an awesome way to spend a holiday.
Awww what a great weekend!
