The McDonald Family: Demark Trip Part 2

Hanging out at Grandma and Grandpa's apartment

This is the car seat that came with the rental car. The first three days he screamed everytime we put him in it, but soon he was fine. Such a stinker.

Sorry this has taken me so long to get up...the middle of August always means crazy school time. Anyway, one of the days that we were in Denmark, we went to the Rosenberg Castle. It was actually the summer castle for the former Danish Kings. Today in 2010, it houses the Crown jewels of Denmark. They were pretty amazing and we enjoyed walking through the castle. E-man did epsecially, he squealed and giggled through the entire castle. We were even warned that down in the basement with the crown jewels there were sensors that did not like loud noises, so if he started to scream we would have to take him out. But, of course E-man didn't make a peep.

After the castle we walked to a tower that you can climb and see an amazing view of the city. E-man loved it, but he was being carried--sometimes being a baby can be so easy. The view of Copenhagen from the tower.

The next day we went to Sweden. We drove to Malmo and had lunch (and did a little shopping). It was a cute little town. We even saw an IKEA off the highway.

This is how Ethan ate lunch.

One of the most amazing things that we did when in Denmark was go to Mon's Flint. Mon is the island south of the island that Copenhagen is on and Flint is Danish for cliff. It was this huge cliffs that line the entire coast and are made of a chalk substance. We walked tons and tons of stairs down to reach the sea--it was harder to come up. It was amazing, we all took ours shoes off, and stripped a certain little guy down to the diaper (because it was just easier) and put our feet into the Baltic Sea. There was a nice breeze off the water and the sun was shining. It was simply amazing.
