Showing them some sites ...

We took them up to Skagen one day (the northern tip of Denmark where the 2 seas meet) and ... well ... we could have had better weather. I mean, this was August, but it definitely wasn't feeling like summer. Such is the weather in Denmark.
Here they are ... I was proud of them. They actually got in the water.

They were impressed with the playroom in the restaurant. Denmark caters to children in many ways, this would be one of them.

Jeff and Terrean in front of an area where the coast is eroding away at a rapid pace. The week prior to them coming, about 10 feet had fallen into the ocean. Terrean was an earth science teacher so she took a special interest in this.

Jeff, Marie, and Brooklan with the North sea behind them.

The last evening they were here, we went to dinner at another coworker of theirs in Aalborg. He also works in sales, so him and Jeff work together frequently. He had stayed with Jeff and Terrean once while he was in the US. Thanks Torben and Maiken.

I didn't get hardly any pictures that night, but here's the kids at their own little table.

Jeff and Marie both work at Hawkeye, Pedershaab's American counterpart. So Jeff and Marie rode their bikes there one day to meet faces they had only talked to on the phone and see the operation here.

It really was so great to have all of them here. Even though I would have considered them all my friends, I got to know them in a whole new way and became even better friends. It seems sometimes you can spend a lot of "quantity" time with a person and maybe not have much "quality" -- where you're actually able to learn who they really are. So thank you for coming and spending some quality time with us. Broderick talked about Raelan for a long time after their visit and still does sometimes. He even taught her some Danish words while they were here. Not sure if she remembers any of it ... maybe they have to come back and learn it again.
