Summer Fun

Yep, there's our little buddy enjoying all the lovely things of a Danish summer - football, ice-cream, lots of sun (well, some sun anyway...) and fun at the playground.
All in all, it's been a fun first summer for Maximus!

Max's Action Shots

The order these pictures was taken was:
1: Glasses on. Everyone's happy.
2: Glasses get knocked off. Dad's concerned. Max is thrilled.
3: Glasses on the ground. Dad in pain. Max feeling the thrill of victory.

These were just too priceless not to share. That's our little trouble maker(s)! 100% boy.

Pirates and Treasures

Here are a few more shots of our time up in Skagen. Threw one in of me and Morten since we had an evening to ourselves to see the sunset one night while Farmor and Farfar watched Bubba.

There are a couple of shots here of the Sand Dunes out on Skagen that are quite famous there. They travel approximately 10 meters a year, so they are quite far inland now.

There is one of Max and Morten on "The SandWorm" - the tractor that pulled us out onto the tip of Skagen.

And the other is one of Max in his little pirate towel we got him. The top has a skull and crossbones on it. We all got a chance to take the kiddos swimming together in the pool that was connected to our summer house. Lots of fun and Max got dunked for the first time. Came up with a smile on his face!

The tip-top of Denmark

Here's Bubba just being basically adorable. We had great weather up at the beach that day, so we played in the ocean, got shoulder rides and ate dirt together (well, mostly Max did those things). In the back of the photo of us all three, you can see how the the two seas,North Sea and Skagerak, collide at the tip of Denmark.

Up in Skagen Day 1

Here we are at the top of Denmark, Skagen. It was here that European artists came to paint in the 1800's because of the light. And once you visit, you'll understand why. Skagen is one of those places you want to come every year.
But enough of landscape!
Here's Max, getting bigger and bigger. The one on the beach is there at the very very tip of Denmark where the two oceans collide. There is also one of Max in the tractor that drove us out to the tip over the sand (that was a blast!). And the third is with Farmor (Father's Mother) who also bought him the cute hat. They were standing together in front of one of the many lighthouses that "keep the beaches shipwreck free..." on Skagen.
