Summer Lovin'

We have really been enjoying our summer weather the last few weeks! Believe it or not, we actually topped 30C (86F) a few days...that's a serious heat wave for Denmark. This picture was taken out at Frederiksberg Park where Ruby and I had a picnic with Carter and Claire under some shade trees. We didn't have much competition for the shady spots as is seems every Dane is dead set on getting a suntan this week. The sunbathing has been something we've had to get used to as they seem to just strip down to thier underwear if they don't happen to have a swimsuit. Of course, tops are not required for women here either, so some women just lay out topless. I'm glad our little munchkins are too young to notice!

Ruby has been having a real kick with her outdoor toys, especially this tunnel. She'll go back and forth through it for ages, especially if Mommy watches and cheers her on! She likes to slide down the little hill on her tummy--too cute! She also has a little wagon/truck that we call her "pick-up". Her favorite thing to do is pick up all the laundry pins when I'm hanging laundry and stick them in her pick-up. If there aren't any pins, any old thing will do--leaves, grass, dirt, etc. Lately, she loves going on her trike! There is a nice long handle attached so that we can push her around without breaking our backs.


Okay, it's actually July 17th now! I saved this entry a month ago and we've been so busy it just hasn't gotten posted. I'm going to just post a bunch of pictures now and hopefully get caught up!

I call this picture, "The Little Dipper". Ruby started dipping thing at the end of May and LOVES ketchup!

Here are two more pictures of Ruby at the beginning of June.
