Copenhagen

Laney and Ty wanted whiskers like Far, so Nadja drew some on them.

Ty's favorite game is to pretend he's a dog. Woof!


We went for a walk through downtown Copenhagen. Here's the entrance to Tivoli Gardens.
Town Hall


The fam posing next to Hans Christian Andersen's statue on the street named after him.


Walking down the shopping street called "Strøget". It's a long street through Copenhagen with shops, and nice buildings to take pictures of!The next few pictures are from on top of the Round Tower overlooking Copenhagen. Notice the look of the city, green rooftops (built during the time of Christian IV ~1600 A.D.). The main building just to the left of the center of the picture with the square tower and green half-dome is Vor Frue Church where the original Kristus statue is. It also has statues of all 12 apostles. A very neat church to see.

Another picture Laney took for us (the first one she took had my head cut off, so we had her do one more!)

Another shot from the round tower looking toward the ocean, windmills, Copenhagen, etc.

The front of the Vor Frue Church.

Inside the Vor Frue Church, looking at half the 12 apostles, and the Kristus in the distance.

The other half of the apostles.

"Strøget" is the longest pedestrianised shopping street in Europe. -A bit of random information with what seemed to be everyone's favourite British expression...
