Copenhagen and Elephants

We went to Copenhagen. We didn't really have any plans, so my mom suggested a park in Frederiksberg. It's the park that she went to a lot when she lived in Frederiksberg. After the Copenhagen Zoo remodeled the elephant's house you are now able to view the elephants from the park. We took a nice walk to the elephants and ate our lunch. Perfect timing! All the elephants came out as we were eating. There were 4 adults and one baby. The adults seemed pretty bored- a couple were eating, and the other just standing bored. The baby, on the other hand, frolicked around like the world was the most wonderful place. He tried playing with his mother even though she kept walking away. Once, he even grabbed her tail. It was so cute!

After we were done enjoying the elephants and eating, we took the bus over to the Strøget, the main street of Copenhagen where all the stores are. We had fun looking around. Stella got her face painted. We also went to the Amber Museum and dug for amber in a sandbox at the House of Amber. We walked out to Statens Museum for Kunst / the Museum of Art. We had a lot of fun on weird swings and laid in a field of four-leaf clovers. We went back to downtown Copenhagen where we sat down and ate a pastry and got our "last ice cream of the year". Sure...
After the great day, we took bus and train home.
