Nana and Bobo Take the Town

The second week of Bob and Kay's visit we managed to take in a few sights around Copenhagen (even though the weather was pretty terrible!). I won't bother putting up pictures of the actual sights since they were all places that we've visited before and documented pretty heavily in past blog entries!
Here's Kay and Ruby posing by the big anchor in Nyhavn. This is where we caught our boat for a tour of the canals. This time we took one that had a glass top and was heated--SO nice on a dreary day! Bob did stand outside for a lot of the trip though, catching all the sights on "film". For a few of the sights, look back here and here.

We managed to take a stroll down Strøget in search of a teapot. After stopping in at Royal Copenhagen and a few Danish-design housewares shops we gave up. Spending over $100 on a teapot wasn't going to work for us! Of course there was a stop for ice cream included in the trip. I think we probably got ice cream at least a dozen times in two weeks. I can't speak for Bob and Kay, but I haven't had a taste for ice cream since then! Jared, on the other hand, is always ready for another soft ice.

Here's Ruby eating another Danish treat, flødeboller, right at home. Flødeboller is a thin wafer topped with a huge mound of light, fluffy marshmallow, all coated in a thin layer of chocolate. It's one of the things that Jared and Ruby will miss the most I think when we leave Denmark next month!

We made it out to the Viking Ship Museum. For lots more pictures, look back here. We actually took a tour in English this time which I really enjoyed. Of course I spent some of the tour chasing Ruby around, but I still learned a lot. The icing on the cake, though, was a very precocious little British girl that was just smart as a whip. I think she had her hand up every other minute with a question. You could tell her parents were used to this and handled it really well. I have to admit, I probably would go a bit batty after while molding that little inquiring mind!

I thought that I had gotten video of Kay and Ruby in this boat, but (Murphy's Law) the camera had some technical difficulties and somehow if has become impossible to access that file. Anyhoo, they were pretending that they were Vikings and rowing the boat. Ruby was really playing along good and looked so cute "rowing" with Nana!

Ruby's imagination is really thriving these days. She's constantly pretending to eat candy (because mean old Mommy won't give it to her constantly as she wishes!), fly around like a bird, hop and croak like a frog, play mommy... the list goes on. For all the difficult parts of being two, there are even more fantastic parts. I really feel blessed to be a part of her little life. I better stop typing about it and go live it. Take care everybody!
