Enjoying some quiet time with family!

If I can figure out how to upload photos on this ...I will...but for now it I will just write about life here in Denmark. This weekend we spent most of, ok, all of our time with my family at their beautiful home in Herning. We had 2 lovely little cousins to play with Tobias is 5 years old and Andrea is 2 (and full of spunk!) We went to the swimming hall yesterday where Gabe and Jerry both jumped off a 5 meter platform! IT was NUTS!!! Gabe's face was priceless. You could not have paid me to do what he did! So his Uncle Michael did just that...paid him 20 Kroner to jump! Then later last night..we played cards, as we do often when we are together, and Michel did a double or nothing...and lost again..so Michael 0 Gabe 2! And his is now 40 Kroner richer! Which will buy him a very nice Ice cream cone or 3 or 4 of them!
We went on a couple nice walks today around their home which is beautiful wooded areas and there are picnic tables in little nooks and small playgrounds hidden in there too! Tonight for dinner we went to my little brothers home where he and his girlfriend Gry made the most amazing meal...FRIKEDILLA! It was SOOOO good! Mette and Gabe both ate a TON and so did Jerry and I to be fair. Homemade potato salad, pasta salad...everything was wonderful and their home is so very nice! They look out over a nice lake with great walking-running paths. You can see my host parents home for their deck. Nice and close to each other!
Tomorrow we are off to an adventure with my host dad to Germany! It is known as a "Beer Run" to get cheap beer just across the borader. My mom Ann said we have to have the "BIG SAUSAGES" too! It will be a little over 2 hours to drive there and then 2 hours back home but when everyone else is working we have all day to play!
It has been a great vacation so far and we still have over 2 weeks to go!
