Brady is working on getting enough hours behind the wheel of the lawn mower tractor that he can convince his parents that he is ready to go solo.
Evan and his girls sightseeing.
Mylee and her dad.
Grammy enjoying her grandkids on the porch swing.
Here we are waiting for our dessert. Thank goodness the portion sizes of our meals were reasonable and so we only gained two pounds each the whole time we were gone (it helped to always take the stairs too).
Our friends and fellow travelers, Kathleen and Terry Oyama.
Gene and Karen Gold. We also had Sally Gold and her friend and relative Jan Gold from Salt Lake City. 
O.J. and Vickie Hansen. O.J. was just released from serving as our bishop for the past six years. This was a needed vacation for them.
This was a tasty appetizer that was ordered quite often at our table.
The next day we arrived in Warnemunde, a beautiful coastal resort town with white sandy beaches in northeast Germany (Berlin is only a 3 hour bus ride away). Of course, we had to try some real German ice cream. Yummy!
We took our own private tour of Warnemunde.
Because of the e-coli scare that had hit northern Germany we stayed away from fresh produce and sampled some delicious pastries and orange Fanta soda.
Walking along the beach and enjoying the Baltic Sea behind us.
Bikes are a fun way to travel especially if you want to bring your pet along too.
This Harley motorcycle was hauling a dog trailer behind it. We thought Aubrey would enjoy this picture.
Old windmill.
By the cruise ship dock there were sand sculptors that were just amazing.
First stop was Frederiksborg Castle where a number of Carl Bloch's paintings are on display.
This scary lion tried to keep us from entering the castle but I was not intimidated and had him purring like a kitten in no time.
Beautiful hand carved wooden doors.
Today church services are still held inside the castle.
The king's dinner spread.
While walking back to the bus, we saw this cute baby taking a ride in a buggy. You see a lot of baby buggies in Denmark.
Next stop was the Copenhagen Temple which is actually in Copenhagen.
Hans didn't understand about temple recommends and walked right in the front door of the temple to see if we could take a tour.
Here are our hosts from LDS Travel, Bruce and Margie Porter from Arizona. They had been on the Vision of the Sea for the past three months with different tour groups. Bruce gave gospel related lectures on board the ship during days that we spent at sea. They were very interesting especially the one about Hopewell Archeology, DNA, and the ancient cultures of North America (having to do with the many mounds found from the Great Lakes and down to the southern part of our country).
After visiting the temple we headed over to the Church of Our Lady to see the original Christus by Thorvaldsen. On display were the twelve disciples by the same sculptor.
Here's Peter with the keys of the priesthood in his hand. I wonder how many people walk by this sculptor and know what the keys are all about. This church was a popular place for tourists to visit.
A sculptor of beloved children's author Hans Christian Andersen. 
A Danish baby elephant that I wanted to bring home but Dave said no because we don't need more animals at our place.
The first sighting of Geiranger.
The ship couldn't tie up at the dock so passengers were ferried to the shore in smaller boats.
When it's time to paint our old John Deere tractor, this is the paint we want to use--super duper metallic gold.
Current Norwegian clothing styles.
Since the U.S. is a little behind Europe in fashion, before long these clothing styles should be in our stores.
We loved the looks of the green garden roof.
We spent some time hiking around Geiranger and found a lovely old church and cemetery where we sat on a rock wall and enjoyed the view.
Heading back to the ship with fellow passengers. The picture below is the lovely town of Geiranger.
