Today Andrew graduated after 10 years at the local school. It doesnt seem that long ago that I took him along for his first day at school. (That first day was harder on me than on him!!) Where have all those years gone?
We had to be at his school for 6.30pm. The evening started with us all singing a Danish folk song (which had a terrible melody and about 100 verses!! haha) The head mistress gave a talk to the kids (I must remember to tell Andrew not to listen to some of her advice! Why? cause some of it went against the Christian values we have - anyway, thats another subject) We were then served food but everytime the serving dish came to our part of the table it had run out of food!! haha
We had a nice evening though - we were sitting together with Andrews English teacher who happens to go to our church. She is just sooo nice and easy to talk to. Then it was graduation time. The kids were called up and given their diploma. The teachers then put on a show for us all, which was funny. The evening ended with another Danish folk song (the melody in this one was not so bad - and it only had 50 verses haha)
So two kids down - only one to go!!
After summer Andrew will take 10th grade at another school. He doesnt know what he wants to do yet, so the year in 10th grade will give him time to think and plan. It will also allow him a chance to improve on some of his grades!!
It was such a beautiful evening here, so on the way home Kristian took some stupid video clips...

Congratulations indeed Andrew. The education system sounds very different to here. Interested to know what the head teacher said.
You two are mad, but love it!!
Well done Andrew, congratulations!
So Andrew welcome to the big world!
Imagine having such lovely flat roads to cycle on - looks brilliant. And not a helmet in sight!!!!
When I posted the first comment I hadnt watched the video - you nutters!!! How can you cycle and look over your shoulder - I would end up in the ditch!! And Kristian too, who says men cant multitask??!! The countryside is lovely, what a nice place to live, its a little bit like home isnt it?
