Chapter 1.6 - July 2021 - Gautes beach party.

The next day Laranyas son-in-law Gaute had gotten a pretty wild idea, to arrange what he said would be the biggest beach party the town of Bewickton has ever seen.

"Well, my daughter sure has found a rather special someone" Laranya thought to herself as she ended the phone call. "He has only been in town for a few days... how is he gonna get everyone to go to his beach party?"

Well, watch.. and learn.. this is Gaute we're talking about, after all..

When Laranya made it to the beach, what she saw surpassed her expectations as the beach was pretty crowded with people already, even though it was only early in the afternoon.  „Wow, that boy Gaute really is one of a kind, isn't he?“

When Bodil came running in after hanging out at the festival grounds, she was just as amazed as her grandmother.

„Wooow, look at all those people on the beach! Did Gaute really put all this together?"

But of course, Gaute didn't really do this all on his own, he got a good helping hand from one of the locals. 

 

At the park he had met (or sniffed out...) Bodils new friend, Kjersti Jordal. A local teacher and hero by day, party animal by night.. A fellow kin of Gaute there. So when he introduced the idea to her, she thought it was pretty wild, but was totally on board with it, and went around to invite everyone she knew.. The party probably wouldn't have been the same without her help. ;)  

The party ended up being a great sucess, and pretty much everyone that had learnt to crawl at one point in time was there.. Here's an unknown couple getting their groove on by the stereo, while Deepak is talking to Palash in the background. Udisha is seen to the right hanging out with some members of the Østreng family.

The night progressed and the party just got better and better. Here is Palash dancing with Chase Bayless. The people here also had a pretty clever trick, placing those so-called 'dance boards' on the ground, to prevent getting their shoes filled with sand whilst shaking their bodies to the rhythms of this warm summer night...

 

 Leya was, like her mother, skeptical and reserved of the idea at first, but when she watched it all unfold, she really felt like they had won the town over, and that it was the perfect ending to their summer holiday and visit to the town.

..but Gaute wasn't done yet. He had another trick up his sleeve for a grand finale to make the party go out with a blast..

 

What a night it had been, as everyone stopped to gaze at the amazing colours in the sky, before eventually venturing home, exhausted from dancing and still with the occasional grain of sand in their shoes. ;)

Well, almost, because some still kept it going. Old grandpa Deepak here wasn't going to quit yet! He hadn't partied this hard since the one time in his youth when he lived in the city as a young student at the art academy..

Nitya was getting warmed up to Gaute as well, thinking that he might not be so bad after all. Kajsa Tangstad from the band "The Bushweeds" was also really enjoying herself. Like many others, she had been there and danced non-stop for hours! Only pausing to eat, get the occasional drink and visiting the toilet stalls put up on the lot by the town council.

 ..and grandma Laranya of course ended up having a blast an then some, too. Of course, being a well-known hit movie composer, she was already a celebrity in town, but having a son-in-law that could throw such a party wasn't at all standing in the way of that, and why not leverage it to be everyones centre of attention just a little more. ;)

The party was definately enjoyable and wild, because later the same month Kajsa began to suspect that she was pregnant... This is Kajsa in her pregnant outfit gazing at her motorcycle.
