The Danish Dragon

Max had his friend Peter over to play yesterday and we caught some more video of Max speaking Danish as a result. Peter is the big brother of Eva, a girl in Max's school. He got to know Peter since Peter and Eva's parents befriended us quite early in our stay here in Denmark. Anne Marit (Peter and Eva's mother) works in the same building as we do. She and her husband, Klaus, have been nice enough to have Max over to play several times at their house. We've been over to their house, as well, for dinner and their entire family came to visit us over the Easter holiday.



Max is wearing face paint in the movie since earlier that day he attended a festival held to honor children in the Danish day care system that are learning Danish as a second language. His skin is green since he asked to be made into a dragon! He tells us that the festival was quite nice and had lots of things to do and eat and that there were even performances by clowns doing magic tricks!

During the video, the kids are eating chocolate and talking about various things. Max is being his usual crazy self and Lilja does her usual good job of being the center of attention. Lilja also does something unexpected towards the end of the video.

Enjoy!

Ken
