Tivoli

The weekend before last (yes, I am FINALLY up to date with the blog!) we went to Tivoli with my friend, Tracy, and her family (husband = Zane, son = Joel, 3 1/2, daughter = Zada, 1.) It was their first time to Tivoli. (They just moved to Malmö, from CT, this summer.) Tracy and I met through The Little Gym. Her son, Joel, is in Lilli's class. Tracy signed Joel up for Little Gym for the same reasons I originally signed up Tipton and Lilli: 1) He needed an outlet for his endless energy and 2) she needed to be able to have conversations with other grownups.

So anyway, we met them at the train station so that we could all ride over together.

Dave took this picture of me and Lilli as he and Tipton prepare to ram into our boat.

Dave took this picture, of Zane taking a picture of me and Lilli as we ram into their boat.

Dave took this picture. He and Tipton were in the next car.

Dave thought this sign was really funny. It says "Roller Coaster Closed Due To Damages. Do Not Use!" It is funny because it was posted on quite possibly the world's slowest slide.

Lilli had to wait for quite a while to have a turn on this. It is a little seat, tilted at an angle, that you can spin around and around and around it.

Around 3:00 we stopped to have a snack - crepes with jelly/chocolate sauce and ice cream. Yum! Dave and Zane waited with the older kids while I waited for the crepes and Tracy strolled around with Zada. (It has occurred to me that I have no pictures of Tracy and Zada.) Here Joel and Lilli are trying to wait patiently.

Classic Lilli.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

"Hey Tipton, you have some on your face."

There was a giant cage with pretty songbirds in it near where we stopped for our snack. The kids thought watching the birds was as much fun as going on the rides.

All in all it was a good day. The weather was perfect and it was spent having fun with friends.
