One of the many unchecked items off our very long to do list was a game of Uno No Mercy with everyone playing. We were missing a few but had a game with 9 of us. Despite it being her first game, Sarah was the ultimate overall champion finally securing an official win for the Bayne Family.

We had a light lunch, Norwegian style that Jason managed to set up without Karen’s help since she was still working. After eating and enjoying the beautiful views it was off for our final adventure in Fevik.

Logan had commented on the way back from breakfast on the boat to Philip that they hadn’t swam yet. Normally Logan finds a way to do some cliff jumping or something in the water while we are here. This trip that hadn’t happened yet mostly due to the cooler temps and the wind. Today though is beautiful and it feels much warmer with the sun out and the moderate to light winds.

Jason had a call he needed to take for work (or he needed a much deserved break from everyone or he didn’t want wet kids in his car…or all of it) so he suggested that we take the kids to a spot that only Philip and Pia had been a time or two. He told Sarah where to go loosely. I entered the name in my maps and we were off in search of a jumping spot in a river. (Warmer water with no jellies.)

After almost heading down someone’s driveway accidentally and a tour down a new development that eventually was a dead end we found a place to park. We started down a path that also was someone’s driveway before Philip was almost certain we needed to cross the road and go down a different path.

After jumping a few guardrails we were on an official path and we were feeling hopeful maybe we had found it.

The path pretty quickly turned into more of a hike than I’d expected I’d be on today but was so beautiful.

Two American men and a Norwegian man arrive at the river to swim with two wetsuits. You can guess which ones used the wetsuits.

I kid, but not. The water in the sea had been in the 50’s and the Norwegians were swimming like no big deal. Many had been in shorts and t shirts the previous few days while we had been layered up. Jake hadn’t even planned to swim but Jason gave him a wetsuit and was basically like it’s time man, it’s your only chance. I don’t think Jake was really sure what he was going to do until we arrived but in the end Jason got his way like he normally does.

After some assistance with getting the very tight wetsuits on they were ready to go. Philip went first followed by Logan and then Jake.

It didn’t take long before Logan was doing flips off the high platform. Good to see he’s still got it!

While the boys were jumping Pia noticed a snake that she was not a fan of. Everyone had to go check it out. It was so tiny I’m not sure how she even saw it!

After he’d already jumped in and gotten wet Logan said he could have done it without a wetsuit as the water wasn’t that cold. There were two girls who had walked down midway through our time who waited for us to finish. They walked down to the water and swam in their bikinis with clearly no wetsuits. It was a great afternoon that checked the swimming box.

Karen was home from work when we got back to the house. We spent the next few hours just sitting and talking before we headed back up to Oslo. Brooks and Pia played video games while the rest of us strategized about our next visit and all the things we’d like to do. Lots of items left on our shared bucket list.

Unfortunately all good things must come to an end and we needed to make the 4 hour trek back to Oslo. Better grab one last ice cream for the road. Pretty sure that was Maddie’s idea which was a great one. I’d initially declined before coming to my senses.

In the end there were a few tears but mostly gratitude for time together. Is it too early to start looking at possible dates for our next Fevik visit?
