Hillerød

After my previous post I felt likeI skimped a lot because those three days were filled with a ton of fun and loads of pictures, so starting now I'm going to go day by day! Plus I think the rest of the family back home may like to see more pictures of T&W's visit. :)

We are still super duper busy over here in Denmark! Our days have been really filled, but we are having fun and I can't believe it is passing so quickly. The weather has stayed absolutely beautiful, warm and sunny. It feels like the middle of summer. The flowers are all in full bloom and every area we have been to in Denmark this past week has been simply beautiful with all the colors of the flowers. All the Danes keep telling T&W that this isn't "real" Denmark and they couldn't have picked a better time. I agree with them completely. Last year while Mary and Jason were visiting at this exact same time, we were still in warm jackets and there were lots of days of rain. I don't know how T&W planned this trip so perfectly!

Saturday we went Hillerød so T&W could see their very first castle. Frederiksborg Slot has always been our favorite in Denmark and had to share it with them. We have been inside the castle several times and have taken visitors as well. All of the visitors we have taken through the castle have said that they could have done without it and it got long and boring besides the chapel, so, we opted not to go inside this time but I think they enjoyed seeing only the outside. :)

I was thrilled to see the Fruit Stands starting to sell cherries.
As soon as we got off the train, I bought a bag of them. YUM!

Denmark seems to also be filled with baby ducks!
It is making Tanya very happy!
