It's a Grand Night!

Can you believe that it is September????

We went on a mini tour of the island of Amager today.  Erin and Ethan are willing to go along with our grand sight-seeing plans which are pretty ambitious for the time we have, but it is fun because they are great sports.

We took a couple of detours and saw some great sights.

We drove out by the beach to a little town that is old old old and walked around the battlements overlooking the Baltic Sea.

Then we went to the top (some of us) of a local church.  It is the 3rd highest structure in Copenhagen.  It was 400 steps up!  I made it up 250 and looked out over the city from the observation platform and decided that was good for me.  Erin, Ethan and of course SK continued up the small spiral staircase to nearly the tiptop.

 

We all went into the interior of the church and were blown away by its beauty.

We stopped and had kebabs...something we were excited to share with Erin and Ethan.  They were appropriately impressed with it.

We hurried home to make cinnamon rolls for the center.  Erin and Ethan each worked at kneading a batch of dough.  Erin rolled them out and spread them with cinnamon/sugar and I cut them into 70 cinnamon rolls.  They were not thick, but they turned out great, even though for some reason it took them longer than usual to rise.

SK and I took the finished rolls plus several other supplies to the center, where we stayed until about 10, and Erin and Ethan spent the evening at Tivoli....going on all the daredevil rides.

It was a great evening at the brand new center.  I think we had nearly 40 there, and it seemed awfully crowded.  There were unpacked boxes everywhere....unpacked because we don't know what to do with the contents.  There is so little room.

There is a lovely brand new kitchen, which is a bit of a worry.  All of the instructions for the appliances are in Danish, which will take some time to decipher.  We still need to put away as much as we can fit into the cabinets there.  And the stove is an induction stove, and we have no pans that will work there.  So we need to find some that won't break the bank.

I enjoyed the YSAs so much tonight.  They were all happy regardless of the size of the place.  They were happy to be there, even though many had traveled quite a ways to get there.  The CRUD table will be delivered tomorrow, but I will be amazed if they let it stay.

I talked to several YSAs about various things....have I mentioned how much I love them?  They are wonderful.
