Kongens Have and Rosenborg Slot

Pictures from this one outing seem to be taking FOREVER for me to get posted! Sorry about that! For those who haven't heard yet, we are expecting Baby #2 and I haven't been feeling that hot this time around. I can't decided if it's just the difference of having a toddler to chase around this time or if I really do feel more sick and exhausted. Probably a combination of both... Anyhow, this picture is from the children's puppet theater in the park. They do two shows a day and change out the show every month or so.


Here's a picture of Rosenborg Castle. From the picture it looks like we're so far away and in the middle of nowhere. Actually, it's just a pretty puny castle and right in teh middle of the city. Of course the garden surrounds it for a few city blocks, but that's it!




Ruby is fascinated with all kinds of birds and water. She was whining like crazy wanting to walk around. We did let her get down for a few minutes, but she was just ready to chase those ducks into the nasty moat (yes, that water is the moat surrounding the castle), so she had to go back into her stroller much to her dismay.

Another picture of the puppet theater. At first I wasn't sure if the guy in green was a person or a marionette--he was real! Later in the story a little marionette puppet man takes his place, but he looked very "puppetish" so it was obvious. I guess it sounds a bit dumb to originally have wondered if this guy was living and breathing, but I didn't think that there would be "people" in a puppet show--silly me!


Here's one last picture of the castle. Maybe next time we'll see the crown jewels...
