May 17th is Norway’s national day and constitution day, a day with lots of expectations from children and adults alike. Our day started early as we decided to bring some homemade rolls to a breakfast get-together with friends in Bergen city center. After breakfast we strolled into the heart of Bergen city to watch the procession. After watching the procession for a couple of hours we went back home, and had lunch with the family before we went to watch the school procession. This year the school procession was a special event for us as our oldest took part for the first time 
Joining the procession we walked back to the school where the children could enjoy lots of activities, ice cream and something simple to eat. Getting back home it was time for some cake before we packed it in and called it a day! … and yes the flag was down by nine! 
Below are some pictures that summarize the day:
