saturday... adventure day, at least for three members of the family, as i work on words once again (i'm at 41,800). but next friday is the thirtieth, so next weekend, i can share in the adventures once again! and hopefully having completed 50,000 words... i can just see myself typing 'the end' only to find i'm at 49,999. but i guess i could just put 'really' after it, or something like that.
so this afternoon (after a long night for everyone, except henry, and therefore a sluggish morning) the guys went to copenhagen, which i'll show you now. greg had to make do with my less-than-stellar camera phone, so you get some blurry shots, but i'm sure you won't mind.
here they are at the train station. doesn't henry's coat and his stance make him look a little tough? fortunately his face gives him away...
william by a hot dog stand...
a crowded pedestrian street...
henry at the toy store... greg said henry was really into these moving animals, as though he thought they were real. we need to get him around the real thing more often apparently...
finally, william on the train ride home, eating a hot dog...
and now i'm going to do it again. cut the blog post short to go read my book, which i must finish before tuesday. goodnight!

What's their take on Santa? Do you follow the story pretty much as it appears to every American kid? You know, with the reindeer and the North Pole? So you're telling them that they're are near the top of the Santa itinerary, as you're so much closer now to the North Pole? :) (I notice the European St Nick robes in the toy store.)
Hi Nina,
I didn't think about our proximity to the North Pole. I'll have to share that with William. But then there are all those kids in Finland...
Our kids' take on Santa-- well, Henry is too young to know what it all means. William-- he's totally into Santa, the reindeer, the whole bit.
Danish kids-- I don't know all the specifics yet. I know there's a Santa, but he's not called Santa or St. Nick. And he has elves who like to be treated nice, otherwise they play tricks on people.
