Such fun....

Yesterday, (Saturday) we attended The Walsøe Family day. Kristian´s mum´s maiden name was Walsøe and so she, her brother and sister, along with their cousins arranged a Walsøe day for the whole family. All the children and grandchildren to these Walsøes were invited along. We were many!! 

The afternoon started with cake and coffee. Then it was play time in the gym. What fun we had.

Leah had no problem rolling around in this.....
Mother on the other hand had a lot of problems....

The pictures speak for themselves.....









Tanja, Signe and I enjoyed running up to jump unto the big soft, spongy mat at the end....

Only one problem - once we were in the big soft, spongy mat, we couldn´t get out of it:-) 


Next challenge was this. It couldn´t be that hard to do, could it? 





Ok let´s try again....




IT WAS TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME!! 

 I needed the help of 4!!! But what a laugh we had! 

It´s been years since I played basketball. Had a good game with Andrew, my niece and my mother-in-law`s cousin who I kept calling Flemming but found out later that that was not his name! haha 

 After we had all the exercise we could cope with we gathered together to hear old stories from days gone by. We looked at our family tree and heard stories about the different people who got us to where we are today. It was really interesting.

Then we ate a delicious dinner. Everything prepared and served for us. After dinner Kristian, his sister Signe and his brother Søren performed a few songs for us. 


My hubby blew his wee heart out on his sax. It sounded brilliant! He and Signe played a song that he wrote for our nephew`s baptism. 


Then there was a surprise. Simone came to sing a few songs for us. Now who is Simone? When she was about 11 years old she won a talent contest on Danish TV. Way back then Signe was her singing teacher and as she has gotten older her singing has just gotten better and better. She has made 4 CD´s here in Denmark and is pretty well known here. Signe usually goes with her when she performs and plays piano! 

 So last night we got to mingle with the rich and famous! haha  

Keep an eye out for Simone, one of these days she might  just make it big internationally!
