The Danes visit Iowa!

Brad had flown back to Denmark and returned to the states a week later with several Danes who are considering moving to Iowa for work. Broderick and I stayed around until they returned and we had a busy week trying to show them the town and taking them out at night.
The first night they got to town, Curt and Lorenia met us at Yong's and we had dinner there. Its a Japanese steakhouse where they cook right in front of you. Very entertaining. Not sure if they have those over here.
One evening we had all the Danes come to our house and had many Hawkeye families in so they would have a chance to meet people from the area and possible coworkers as well. That has been one of the hardest things moving from home is meeting people that you can call when you have a question or need help with something.
Janne, Anne Abolt, Luann
Bernie Abolt, Dennis and Sandy Lee, and Aaron Schmidgall
Lillian Kranker and Stephanie Witte
Their last night we took them to Martinis and grazed. I think we all overate.

Most of them left Thursday morning, but our friends Brian and Janne and their son Krister stayed a couple extra days and flew home with us on Sunday.

We took the boys to Fun City Water Park.



I hope they had a good time, it was record cold temperatures while they were here though. We had 3-4 days of -20 degrees fehranheit. We hope it didn't scare them off. It will be interesting to see when we come back if some of them will be living in the US.
