Fall colors at the village

I just returned from 4 days up in Bemidji. The fall colors are slightly past peak, but the views were lovely nonetheless. Kajsa met me there to spend a few days planning curriculum and programs for summer 2008 and beyond. But the real highlight was a trip down the path to see the progress on our first residential cabin. The walls are up, the roof is on and the windows are in. It's really amazing to see. And the boat house and weaving studio both looked just adorable in the fall colors. All that was missing were the people- but fortunately the Swedish Elderhostel group arrived last night and I'm sure the village is bustling with activity now. I only wish I were there to enjoy it. I have posted some new photos on our website, so be sure to go look.

Our next Swedish program is the spring Adult week in March, followed by the Family Fun Weekend in April. Be sure to enroll so that you can be among the first to use these new facilities.

I also wanted to mention that our new Twin Cities group for high school students, På gång, is actively meeting at the American Swedish Institute. Learn more, or join here: http://www.americanswedishinst.org/educate.htm#school_groups
I also noticed they have a facebook group, so those of you who are on facebook and are curious to see what they are up to, should check that out.

Vi ses!
