DEER RIVER — Usually it's pancakes, but for Hilde from Amsterdam, oatmeal with apples and cinnamon was on her kitchen table while visiting Northern Minnesota.
And not coffee, obviously — she's only 8. Usually, it's milk or water.

Hilde described Amsterdam as wet in the summertime and not that fun, and she's not the biggest fan of some of the food, like herring or the cheese her dad loves.
Hilde has been enjoying a family cabin in Deer River this summer, where she's been tubing, fishing, swimming and boating.

What's in a name?
"It's a funny story," Hilde said when asked about her name. She said her parents were looking for a nice Indonesian name since her dad, Sahala, is from Indonesia.
But then they found some European and Swedish names and came across Hilde.
"They looked up what that meant. It was a warrior. A female warrior Viking," Hilde laughed but admitted she does indeed feel like a female warrior Viking.
As for living in Amsterdam, Hilde explained her dad got a job there.
"We wanted new opportunities," Hilde said on the KAXE Morning Show.
She's enjoying her time in The Netherlands, where she's met lots of friends and learned Dutch. Hilde helps her family out with the language difference, but she said most people also speak English.
School starts on Sept. 2, and Hilde's excited to get back to her friends and her pet Chihuahua, Yip.
"He came pre-trained, which was nice," Hilde said. "When I wake up he's right next to me."
Thanks to Homestead Mills for Hilde's parting gift, country-blend cereal.
