If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
Thanks, Iceflower. :)

I see from a caption that they brought their friends Peter and Henriette Steenstrup with them, as well as their children. The girl is Agnethe, don't know the names of the boys.
 
I love the smile of little Athena :)
 
Thanks, Polyesco. :flowers:

Sweet pics of Athena.

It looks to me like the boys were treated to French Hotdogs: Fransk Hotdogs. Kinda Funny Looking Huh? Photo by tisaacso | Photobucket

A real hotdog can look like this: http://multimedia.pol.dk/archive/00395/Hot_Dog_dag_p__Axel_395483a.jpg
But there are many variants!

Anyway, children often prefer a French Hotdog, it's more manageable for them.
And are we parents grateful for that?!? Oh yes! It's hard enough for adults to eat a hotdog without ending up with dressing, cucumbers and onions all over the place. - For children... well, it's better and easier simple to hose them down before allowing them inside your car or house.
(Yes, I know. Most readers know what a hotdog is and I'm stating the obvious. But some people don't know).

""I am a great supporter of the queen. Frederik is cool and level with the people. However, I think that Joachim is a klaphat. "

google translate is doing nothing for me. what is klaphat?

Im surprised he would say anything negative about Joachim, the pictures of Lukas and Henrik are really cute

Jerk, git, bozo, tosser, twit, twerp - and so on... I.e. a person whose behavior leaves a negative impression regarding that person's general personality, but who is not a fool or an idiot.

Sorry mods, but she asked. :D

And the first photo of our Marie and husband and children at the Tønder folk music festival.

The weather is great today as you can tell.
And as such a festival is a very casual event, their attire is very appropriate.

Tønder is located three kilometers from Schackenborg, so I guess the family spend the weekend there.

ADDED: here is even more: http://www.jv.dk/artikel/2370730:TO...-og-video--TOender-Festival-fik-royalt-besOeg

Mademoiselle Athena is developing into a little charmer. Can't wait to see her and Josepine together! That will be entertaining!

:previous: nice that she took her family to the music festival
 
Ups! Our Marie almost slipped in the mud! :eek:

And I want to cut Henrik's hair sooo bad! :D
 
:previous: It would appear that the family are back from their holiday in France.
It's nice to see them enjoying themselves at Tonder - little Henrik is not so little anymore; he's really grown and looks a lot like his older brother Nikolai IMO.
 
Summary of article in Billed Bladet #35, 2018.
Written by Henrik Salling.

Our Marie as patron of the Tønder festival brought her whole family, and they were having a great time! Especially the children, who played and really couldn't see any reason at all why they eventually had to leave, so mother Marie had to offer a little comfort to her daughter. As can be seen in the scans below.
Henrik, with very long hair, darted around and a favorite among children is always teasing mother. That included giving her a perhaps little too hard push, while walking through mud. Marie lost her balance but was rescued by some women standing close by. After that Marie gave her son a little hug: "You rascal, you."

Walking on stilts is tricky as young Athena found out, but she eventually almost, nearly, mastered the art - with a little help from dad.
Toppling cans with a ball is easier, of course it does suck a little if big brother is better...

But there was also time to actually listening to (the great) music. Athena sitting on her tall dad's shoulders had a great view. While Henrik siting on the shoulders of the even taller (!) mayor of Tønder, Henrik Frandsen, had an even better view.

All in all a nice family outing.

Here are the scans from the article:

The rest of the scans will be uploaded to the Faeroe thread, when I have written a summary.
 
The Tønder Festival is an annual folk music festival and pretty good actually.

It's been around for many years now.
