Lots of fresh air

This past weekend was spent outside in the very changing weather. Saturday we had a very nice trip to the kite festival by the Eremitage Palace. Below you see a huge bear-kite that someone had in the air. It had a smaller bear behind it, which is seen here. Ronja thought they were funny, but in this picture she is enthusiastically holding one of our own kites.

It was raining on and off while we were there, but it was so fascinating to see hundreds of kites in the air on such a small area. Ronja’s beautiful new butterfly-kite proved to be a bit difficult to keep in the air – it kept moving in one direction and towards the ground, so perhaps some tweaking is needed. However, Frida’s lively miniature clown-kite was lots of fun. I do think even Frida enjoyed looking at all the kites, and the cheerful clown-kite really caught her attention because we were able to fly it quite low.

Many people brought handbuild kites, and it was really amazing to see how much energy and creativity the true enthusiasts that were present put into it. Mads has become so hooked, I believe he may have found himself a new hobby – and the rest of us don’t mind!

Sunday Mads and I participated in a 7.5 km run called Gribskovløbet. The girls came along in the baby joggers, and even though the route through the forest on muddy trails with gnarled tree roots proved not to be all that suitable for the baby joggers, we had a very nice time. I know I mentioned this before, but running with a child in a baby jogger presents a whole new scenario, compared to running by yourself without anything (or anyone) else to worry about. I’m only slowly adjusting to that, and quite frankly, I think it’s hard. Mads is a lot better at it than I am, but I’m determined on improving my running – even with a baby jogger. We’ll see.

    Beautiful photos, as always. The photo of Ronja looks like it should be the cover of a magazine. Danish Living, or something! Seriously, it’s beautiful.

    Weather is starting to truly change here as well. I love it. Tights, scarves, and woolen sweaters!

    Der har altid været noget utroligt fascinerende over drager, synes jeg. Jeg holder stadig meget af at flyve med dem, og overvældes af glæde når dragen endelig letter efter megen baksen og masen ;0)

    Hvor må det have været sjovt at overvære så mange drager på én gang! Og sjovt for jeres børn at være en del af de mange drage kaptajner :0)
