Spring Break in Denmark

 For spring break the kids and I (actually I decided and told the kids) decided to go visit Wendy and her family. Ben couldn't get time off since he's a lone lonely loner at the pharmacy right now. We raced up there and miracously made it in 8 hours(!!!) and the kids were little angels the whole way. We stopped one time to get gas and everybody went potty and then we kept on chugging. We stopped one more time to get gas before the Danish border and so Ty could use the facilities...I mean....bushes one more time. We got there Friday evening and the kids still had time to watch cartoons and eat yummy Danish candy and have a fun evening with their cousins before bed.

 Saturday we got up and hurried over the Danfoss Universe (or Danforsynvors as some people like to spell it... Ü) because you could get in for free since it was the first day of the season. Ty almost didn't make it past the first 10 minutes though. They started out with a firework show and it was so incredibly loud that you could feel the thumping in you body. If you know Ty, you know that he DOES NOT like loud noises (unless he's making them himself) and so he freaked out and was crying and kept saying he wanted to go to the car. But soon it as over and we started running around trying out all the cool stuff they have there. The kids got to try their hand at operating a digger and Laney and I also tried some Segways. We both wish for one for Christmas. They are awesome.

 There are so many cool things there. All experiment kind of things. It was really fun.

 Ty as a hamster!

 Nyah wasn't too impressed though. She's tried it all before. Yawn!!! Boring! Ü

 Laney decided to try and jump over one of the buildings.

 Erin wanted to stand on the building.

And Ty tried to jump over it but just couldn't quite make it.

 Joshua was doing a funny dance on the building.

 Then the Cullingfords had prepared and fun Easter Egg hunt for the kids that they loved.

 Cute Liam and Nyah enjoyed playing together and after we came home Nyah decided that if Liam could walk than she should probably be working on that.

 Sunday afternoon Wendy and I went with the Young Woman in their branch to take some pictures of her in a new skirt Wendy had helped her make. While we were gone Quentin invited the 4 older kids to lunch and a movie. They loved it and had great time. Thanks uncle Quentin.

 Another day we went to a museum by Dybbøl Mølle. It's all about the battle at Dybbøl in 1864. It was very interesting and hands-on and the kids loved it.

 They got to make their very own bullet...

 ...and pancakes. Uh yum, those were super delicious.

 We also walked over to the mill and I took about 5 pictures of the kids in front of it, and I think every single one of them has at least one child with closed eyes. I guess they were staring straight into the sun so I guess I should just be happy their corneas haven't been severely burned.

 ....and they're FREEEEE. (We're still not quite sure what Erin was doing!? Pretending to be a penguin maybe??)

 Wednesday Wendy and her kids had a baptism in Flensburg. We followed them and then stopped and this fun fun beach that had a playground. We bought some bread, cheese and salami for lunch and then had a little picnic. The kids played on the playground for just a little bit and then thoroughly enjoyed the beach for the rest of the time.

 Where is my house on the beach???

 Bottoms up!!

 Nyah was enthralled by the sand the whole time. She also liked the taste of it...for some reason. I tried to stop her from eating it and I thought I had done a pretty darn good job but the contests of her diapers for the next couple of days were a bit incriminating.

 After the baptism and the beach we took the kids to a indoor playland thing. Look at this dapper feller.

 Lots of fun slides, jumpy-castle-things, crazy bikes, balls.

The next day the kids and I started our journey back to Eschenbach. First we stopped in Hamburg and went to an amazing museum that have model trains. IT. WAS. AMAZING!!! There were a ton of people though, but we still loved it. I took pictures but the pictures just don't do the museum justice at all.
Then we drove a little further and stopped for the night at a hotel. The next morning we finished our drive, meet Ben for lunch, where after he went straight from work to a scout camp-out.
Thanks Cullingfords for a WONDERFUL week!!! When can we come back??? Ü
