# Three!

After Gotland we hopped back on the ferry for another three hour trip over to the mainland, then took an hour long train ride to get to another high speed train for a five hour trip down to Copenhagen, then switched to another train for the last 45 minute leg out to Roskilde, which is where we were staying for our time in Denmark. It was a long day of traveling.

Luckily we were staying with the coolest family ever. Josh met Troels Jørgensen in the MTC on his mission and, even though they never served

 together as companions, they still became really good friends. I never even realized they

 hadn't been companions because I'd heard so much about Troels. It made a lot of sense 

when I met him and his family. It's cool to relate so well with people that live so far away 

and have so many different experiences. The first day with the Jørgensens they took us 

around Roskilde and showed us the giant church and the market place. We also went

 out to eat, and then spent the rest of the day hanging out at home playing with the kids...

as best we could with the language barrier.

Some impressive caskets. 

The cool cafe where we ate lunch.

We also had fun with Ninja, their cat. Absolutely the craziest cat I've ever come in contact with. Josh even said that we could get one if it was like Ninja. ;)

Troels works for a company doing the sound effects for the Lego cartoons, like Ninjago, so Legos were a major factor in our playtime.

Adrien also liked making me bounce on their bouncy cows with him. The picture is terrible, but we were having a blast and couldn't pass up the opportunity to document Adrien wearing his cow-boy hat. (a fabric basket) So stinking cute.

Denmark has been rated the happiest country in the World, evidence by their outlets. 

The second day in Denmark we spent the morning wandering the main square in Roskilde sampling fish and ice cream, picking up some flowers for Anna who spent the morning home with a sick Adrien, and doing a bit of grocery shopping. Rewarding ourselves with some more sugar before heading home.

Later that night we doubled with Anna and Troels and headed into Copenhagen while Troels' parents babysat the kids. It was SO much fun! We wandered the city, checked out the home of the original Christus statue, ate out, shopped for clothes, checked out all the modern furniture and home decor, and went to a movie in a really old movie theater. 

The Christus statue happens to be in, what we felt to be, the only church that looked like it was centered around Christ...instead of death, the devil, and art. VERY pretty church.

Just a sign on the side of a building.

Sorry for the lack of pictures in Copenahagen. By this point Josh and I were feeling very at home with Troels and Anna and thus forgot to be more touristy...which was actually our goal so...mission accomplished! :)

The next day we went to church with Troels while Anna stayed home with sick Adrien again. (He has a really weak immune system so is sick a lot, poor kid.) We were lucky enough to be there for the baby blessing of Troels' nephew and as such we were invited to the celebrations afterward. We went out to the country where we spent the rest of the day eating delicious food and chatting with Troels and his extended family. They were all SO nice and a ton of fun to be around.

Now my memory is failing me. I can't remember if we left Monday or Tuesday. Thinking Tuesday, but either way, we spent the last little bit just hanging out at home with Anna and the kiddos since Troels had to go back to work. It was such a fun and unique part of our trip. 

Adrien aka The Monkey Doctor watching Ponyo. (They have no idea why Gabriel nicknamed him The Monkey Doctor, but it's quite possibly the best nickname ever, and this picture is quite fitting.)

Gabriel frozen by the back tickles.

 Josh and Adrien having fun taking pictures of themselves on the iphone. I had to add this in so you could see the longest eyelashes in human existence. I'm just a tad bit jealous. Plus Josh's face is ama-za-zing.

 Not sure if the Jørgensens ever get to read our blog, but if so, props for being the best hosts ever! We loved getting to just live life in Denmark and feel so comfortable so far from home. Who knew we could make such good friends so fast. We hope we get to see you guys soon!
