Thank you, Iceflower
It's been a somewhat rainy day today as you can see. Pic 6 is wonderful, Isabella is clearly howling like an indian. I don't know what you call it in your various languages, here in DK it's called "ugh".
Legoland is located at Billund in central Jutland or about an hour and a half by car and four children from Gråsten.
The Western park, including the Indian (*) village has been around since I was a child myself.
I guess they also tried to wash out gold and no matter how much they find, the "smith" will make sure there is enough for a "gold medallion".
In a few years, Christian will be old enough to take his "drivers test" at the park and be issued a genuine Legoland drivers licence. - But he can flunk the test, if he ignores the red light!
DK lesson:
It's a bit confusing with native American Indians and asian Indians. In Danish, as well as in German, there is a clear distinction between them.
Native Americans = Indianere.
Indians = Indere.
You English speakers really need to look into this matter...
Summary of article in Billed Bladet #30, 2010.
Frederik med sommerskæg - Frederik with summer-beard.
Written by Anne Johannesen.
The photo session took place just after the BB deadline, but fortunately Frederik went riding in the forenoon.
Mary didn't join him because she was preoccupied with the children who played in the park.
Anyway escorted by profesional private first class, Allan Sonne (*) and a PET officer on bicycle Frederik went for a ride through the park.
And as the attentive among you may have noticed, Frederik is sporting a beard. And Anne Johannsen is absolutely right when she observes in one of the captions: "....Now it will be interesting to see whether Mary will allow him to keep the new summer-beard". - As every married man knows, that decision is
not up to him...
- I actually like his beard. He looks more mature.
(*) The purpose of the trooper, from the Guards Hussars, is not to protect Frederik. That's the job of PET. No, the trooper is there to have a calming effect on Frederik's horse.
Partly to have someone around whom the horse know, partly to have another horse around, which also has a calming effect, but also to help control Frederik's horse should it become nervous. He is after all not riding the horse every day.
