It´s right in front of the Constitution building in Eidsvoll where the constitution has been written 200 years ago.
 
So happy that Daisy didn't wear the telletubby hat w/that oft-repeated coat!
 
What is it that they're all wearing on the left side of the chest? It looks like ribbons fastened by a silvery buckle to me but what is it? An order of some kind or something taken from the traditional costumes?

No, it´s not an order (you might have noticed average, commoner norwegians wearing it for the national day, too). It´s some sort of a "festive bow" in the national colours of Norway (red, white and blue are the colours of freedom) many norwegians wear every 17th of may each year.
It will be worn on the left side because the heart is located in the left side of the human body.
In the old days it was often decorated with added rosettes and an image of the King (don´t know if this is done sometimes still today).

Was it in early start for the family? Lot of yawning :lol:


It is a family I do not know much about. The clothes are cool. It's a strange looking dog, lol, cool looking though, what kind is it? Great set of photos, real welcoming, not overly formal but enough formalities to leave the viewer with enough respect to acknowledge the topic is about something that pertains to society.

lol. What a cute name of a kind of a dog, labradoodle. First time I am seeing one. It's all coyote mix mutts out here and other various dogs, usually herding or working groups in this part. I thought I'd go ahead and give the name of the kind of dog since I went ahead and looked it up after asking.



Lol, bad behavior. I cannot read the language and have no idea what the article is about, but I see a few children who want to be elsewhere learning, but are enjoying the public, but wanna go learn. How is that bad behavior? They are children,even royal ones, wanna do what they wanna do, are children like anyone else's, are not perfect children but to their parents like anyone else who is a parent their child is perfect, their children and there are no bad children only poor decisions or unguided actions that can lead to consequence. What did the article sum up?

Wonderful: CP Mette-Marit insisted that a lady in a wheelchair was brought an umbrella during that rainy weather.
