Scandinavian Festival

Today, Sabrina and I volunteered at the Scandinavian Festival at Oglethorpe University! It was a lot of fun and it was great seeing the beautiful campus. I also met a few girls who attend the school and they told me a lot about it. It was also amazing hearing a lot of people speaking Swedish, Danish, Finnish and Norwegian!

From about 8:30am-12pm we helped a lady and a girl from Costa Rica, named Susan serve Swedish pea soup and knackebrod (with Finnish cheese, like Sabrina said) and then from 2-5:30pm we painted children's faces. It was awesome, but some of them couldn't stay still! This one boy who couldn't stay still wanted me to paint a Norwegian and American flag on his face. Why'd he have to chose the hard ones? Haha. :) But it was fun regardless.
