At the TV Station

We went to my mom's old workplace, DR - a Danish tv station, to be part of the audience in a live show called "Søndag...live". Mormor, Mom, Moster Lone, Stella and I went with train and the metro to get out to DR byen. When we got there, we where instructed on where to go. There was a beginning "party" with soda, beer, wine and chips. Mom asked me and Moster Lone if we wanted to go outside and look around.  We saw the entrée and the weather studio. After that, we went into the concert building and looked around. When we were finally let into the studio, we were told what to do and when to clap. We had to do a test run, and then, they filmed a preview of the show.... The show started off with some people being asked questions, with points, and then came the interview. It was a little bit funny, but I definitely think that it was more grown up humor, than kid humor. At the end, we got to go up and take some pictures on the stage with the two hostesses, Signe Molde-Amelung og Ane Cortzen. It was really cool to expirence!

Cleaning up at Bente's

We went out to Bente's to help out clean up on her farm. My mom and the other parents had arranged for everyone to get together and help fix up Bente's farm. Everyone brought food and a long table was put up in the riding house where breakfast then was served. After that we all just started pitching in. The grown ups outside, making new fences, and other grownups inside, cleaning out all of the junk from the riding house. There were some kids helping out here and there. Mom, Stella and I went over and helped clean and oil the leather bridles so that they would get more flexible. Later, Sophie came, and helped out. I had baked a cake and we went and grabbed some. It was really fun to hangout and help at the same time. At 1 o'clock Bente said that we all had to stop cleaning. Everything looked so nice and clean. Great team work! We all then sat down and had a barbeque together. When we were done, we hung out a bit longer before we biked back home...

Riding

Today, I went to riding with Mom, Stella and Moster Lone. We took the bikes today because of the nice weather. When we got out to Bente's it was the perfect time to start getting ready. The group before me, were gone and everything was nice and quiet. Nikolaj and Silke weren't going to be coming, so it was just me and Sophie as well as Emilie and Mads (the owners of a horse named Sa Mara). The plan for today was a bit different. Bente is going to be holding a competition on Thursday, and she wanted to teach us the combinations so that we can be part of it. We learned two combinations, and they both seemed kind of hard to remember. When we each had our turn trying, we started riding in gallop. It was very nice and comfortable to be riding on Fussie again. Last time I was at Bente's was two weeks ago. That was when Stella was riding as well and that's when we heard that Bente was going to show Fussie and sell her. I didn't come the following week, because of Sophie's birthday party, but supposedly, Fussie was sold. She was taken to her new home where she had her mane and tail cut. After a few days Fussie came back to Bente's. Anyways, after galloping, we trotted going up and down without stirrups. That sure was a workout! Then, we went outside, into the gorgeous weather and went on a walk. What a nice riding lesson! After that, we bicycled home...

Stella with Artist Charlotte Farup Ohrt

Stella just went to the coolest birthday party EVER! Two of her friends from school, Josefine and Jules, had combined their 10th birthday and invited all the girls from their class out to a painter's studio to learn different painting techniques that provides depth and structure to the painting. The artist's name is Charlotte Farup Ohrt and Stella thought that she was really nice and pretty and a really great artist! They spent 3 hours painting, laughing, eating yummy snacks and cake and at the end they all left with their own unique painting to keep. They all went home to Josefine's house and had dinner. Later that evening all the parents were invited to a vernissage at "Gallery 10" where they were served champagne, wine and hors d'oeuvres.

Farum Sø

Mom and some other parents from my class had arranged for my class to walk around Farum Sø. We met up with the rest of the families and began walking. My friends and I walked together. We had a bunch of fun! Stella and Mom had made a dream cake that we shared with everyone when we stopped and took a break. We also got some cookies that my friend Ellen had baked. We were all troupers, surviving the long 10 kilometers, but we sure did have fun! I really enjoyed the beautiful nature.

From One Party to Another

Friday night I went to two of my friends, from my class, sleepover party. Almost all of the girls from class came to have a bunch of fun. When we were all pretty with some mascara, we went downstairs to hang out. We heard music and danced around, having tons of fun. For dinner, we got "nachos", chips with meat, cheese, guacamole, salsa and sour cream. It was really good. After dinner, we went back downstairs with some more chips and chocolate and cranked up the music. It was really fun! In the morning, we all got up and had breakfast and took our time hanging out. Later, Mom drove up to get me. If I didn't have to go to another party, I could have just walked or bicycled home being that the distance is so minimal. I jumped in the car and we drove to party number two...

This party was for Sophie from riding's, thirteenth birthday. The plan was that we would go ice skating. When we got to Sophie's house, I met some of Sophie's friends from school. I was a bit nervous, not knowing them, but it got better throughout the party. Instead of going ice skating (it's a long story, but to shorten it down, the rink was closed), we went to Fisketorvet, in Copenhagen, to eat brunch and see a movie. We drove out there and parked. We had fun going up the flat escalators and looking in shop windows. We had brunch and candy and went to the movie theatre. We saw "Captain America 2". I thought that it was violent, but very exciting and well made. When we were done, we drove back to Sophie's and hung out until Mom came to pick me up.
