Khloe's 13th Birthday Trip to London

Zac and I wanted to do something special for Khloe as she officially became a teenager this month. It's a big deal! Fortune smiled upon us when Vibe invited us on her trip to London. She was planning a trip with her youngest son, Arthur, to go visit the Harry Potter Warner Bros. Studio Tour over Easter Break from school and she thought Khloe and I might want to join. Of course, we did! Vibe and I met over wine one Saturday to plan it out. We had to buy plane tickets, figure out transportation, find a place to stay, and pre-book our studio tour and tickets to the theater production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. It was more expensive than we had originally sketched out in our heads, so we cut costs where we could and made our peace with the rest. (Zac and the boys were invited to join, but Kaden and Harrison didn't really care about the Harry Potter aspect of the trip, and even though Zac had a nice time when we went to London on our honeymoon, he didn't really feel ...

Hi, friends and family! We're still here and doing great! Lots of cool things have happened in the last couple of months as we continue to learn about Danish culture, celebrate milestones, and see new places. We hope you enjoy reading about it once in a while! Harrison's 7th Birthday Harrison turned 7 this year, and he was a very excited birthday boy. We celebrated on the Sunday before his birthday so that we could spend the day together. He requested Zac's pancakes for breakfast, my chicken sandwiches for dinner, and an ice cream sundae bar for dessert. Pancakes with pålægschokolade and strawberries Birthday dinner! Birthday dessert! We went to AirTrix, which is a big trampoline and climbing park in Copenhagen (Nordhavn). Kaden was injured from his basketball tournament, so he didn't jump, but Harrison and Khloe had a great time! There was so much to do! They're ready to go! In addition to the standard trampolines, there is a dodgeball court, basketball courts, big...

Danish Springtime!

Happy June! May was fantastic and we can't get enough of this awesome, totally perfect weather. We even got a great thunderstorm. We're trying hard not to let the beautiful days go to waste. Even the misty, rainy ones are amazing! * * * Of course, some evenings, we don't really have the option to sit outside and enjoy the last hours of the day. Danish classes are twice a week and we have to be inside for those instead of relaxing on the terrace, but our classes are going great. We are learning a lot and it's a really wonderful group. We were learning about how to describe recipes and cooking terms, so our instructor thought it would be fun if we all made something from our home country and then told the class how we made it. It was a hard assignment mid-week, so I decided to try making Rice Krispie Treats for the first time in Denmark. They have Rice Krispies, butter, and marshmallows, but as I've mentioned before, the marshmallows are definitely different here, so ...
