The weekend was over the 4th of July weekend, which was nice that I had a way to semi-celebrate. Also, I had heard and read that the largest 4th of July celebration outside of the US, actually takes place in Denmark! It is a celebration of the Danish-American partnership, and takes place in a park called Rebild - and is outside of the city of Aalborg.
The celebration was not a big deal - I was expecting fireworks or something...definitely did not happen. It was nice to go and see what it was like, but the celebration was mainly speeches and older people - not so great for the crowd of young people I brought with, not to mention the fact that it was scorching hot!
It was so hot!!! We needed water!

We are playing in the little pioneer/Indian town
The state of Nebraska
The flags of the 50 states lining the walk - kind of cool to see this in another country
I LOVE this picture. Very representative of my new life now!

Our friend, the dead crab we found
Notice the 'jelly fish'? They were all lined up on the beach and I have never seen anything like this!

When the boys rolled out of bed, this was their spot in the morning
