The Forest

    This is what I expected of the Forest....

This is the actual forest...             

Hello dearest friends-

Today I learned that the average Danish child has a much larger bladder than that of your average American child.

Today I went to the forest, there is NO TOILET in the forest. It is also cold and muddy. Did the 20 children care?- NO!...Did i care?- NO! ( well, a bit :-) In order to get to the forest the Pedagogues from the Bornehaven I work at and myself walked 20 children to the bus stop. We then took the city bus to the subway station. We then took the subway to the train station and we took the train out into the woods! The Forest is a big deal for schools in the city, everyone goes! They are obsessed with this forest. Because of all the hype I was expecting to find magical creatures...maybe a candy mountain?? No, no- its just a forest. But it was still quite loverly to get out of the city and see some trees and even some Sunshine!!! We hiked about 30 minutes to our camp site, where we made a fire and even cooked our own lunch, including hot chocolate. Mmm. The kids climbed trees, played on rope swings and log bridges ( which frightened me beyond belief! ) and we even went fishing in a little lake. I am not allowed to post pictures of this kids online, for obvious reasons- but oh I wish I could!! These children look soo freakin cute all lined up with their snowsuits on- it is quite a site! You will all just have to come to Denmark and see it all for yourself.
