Winter Break Day 1

This week in Myra's school is Winter Break, so she's home all week long! Thankfully, the weather has warmed up a little bit, so we thought we should get outside and do a little exploring. Albertslund, the city we live in, was re-developed in the 70's. They laid out much of the city to be very friendly to bikes and walkers. There are seriously bike/walking paths EVERYWHERE! It's a very interesting community, there are a lot of apartment/condo complexes and they are all intertwined with paths and playgrounds. It's very nice. They have also planted these wooded areas through the city. So, you'll walk through the apartment complex and come upon a little forest, with nice walkways through it and maybe there will be a pond with a bunch of ducks. Very quaint! Anyway, we had a really fun time exploring a little bit of the surrounding area. Lexi exclaimed that it was the "Best Day Ever!" I'm not sure about that, but it was fun. The kids especially loved feeding the ducks and trying out several new playgrounds. I've been thinking I should take pictures of all the playgrounds we come across. Some of them are really quite unique.

Dirt path through the "woods."

Noah fell in the mud. He wasn't too happy. Luckily I put him in his little clown suit for the outing.

This random "statue" was just sitting up on a hill next to the bike path.

One of the many playgrounds we came across. This one was nice, it had astro-turf.

I can just imagine how beautiful this will look in the spring/summer time. I can't wait!

Myra dubbed this the "Harry Potter Tree." It was very uniquely shaped, and easy for little kids to climb.
