Organic cows...

Today was the day where all organic cows in Denmark were let out of the stables after being stuck there all winter. A lot of organic farms around Denmark has an open house arrangement where you can come and visit.

 We went to a farm, and first got to look around the farm, visit the stables, taste the organic milk and yogurt. 

 Jonas didn't want to be photographed today, so you will have to do with the cows... at noon there was a countdown for the doors to open, and let the cows out.

They came running, or pretty much dancing because they were so excited to finally be outside. They really seemed to enjoy springtime.

It was the first time we went to visit a farm on the day the cows were let out, it was fun, but after an hour walking around we were ready to see the cows dance, and we could go home. It's a bit funny to think that all over Denmark people gather at farms to see cows run out of the stables... quite silly really, but it does attract a lot of people.

Have a great week, and Happy Easter.

Sunday on the farm:)

Yesterday Jonas and I drove to my cousins farm, where they had an open farm arrangement. Everyone could come an visit. They have a chicken farm, so you could pet 2 day old chickens... well at least the 6 that had been taken out of the barn. 

Looking at 2-day old chicks with my dad  
 

Go out to field an look at the big chickens, play on the hay playground etc. Though the hay playground was for bigger kids, so Jonas didn't go on that. You could also get a ride on the trailer of a tractor, where you got to see the fields with vegetable.

You could even get a pony ride, though we just talked to them, Jonas wasn't too font of them. At the farm they also have a little farm store where they sell vegetables, chickens etc. They recently added a kitchen to the store and started a catering business.So you were able to try a lot of the different foods.

Petting the horse, not his favorite!

Afterwards we visited my parents and spent the night. Today Jonas helped my dad collecting apples in the backyard.

You get hungry from all that work, good thing he was paid in apples:)

 

Have a great week everyone!

Vacation time again:)

This is where I love the Danish system, 5 weeks paid vacation every year... and most people also have 5 extra days, so actually I can have 6 weeks paid vacation every year, though the 5 days extra I use one every now and then. 

So this coming week I'm using my 4 week of vacation (a vacation year goes from May 1st til April 30th). I have used 3 weeks during the summer, and then usually it's nice to have one in the fall, since springtime doesn't seem so hard to go through because of the lighter weather and the national holidays. 

It's only me and Jonas having a week off though, because Franks work is quite busy at the moment, and he will be able to get the day between Christmas and New Year off, which is when the daycare is closed. 

So this weeks, we don't have any big plans. Tomorrow we have just decided to go to an open farm arrangement at my cousin and her husbands farm. My parents are there to help out, and I figured Jonas would like to see the chickens, drive the tractor and play in the hay. Afterwards we are going to stay at my parents till Monday.

Otherwise we don't have any plans, but it the weather will continue raining I know we will be using our rain suit and rubber boots. Though Tuesday Jonas has an appointment at the dentist, I'm not quite sure how he will like that... but again the Danish system is to thank for free dentist till you turn 18, so we might as well use it. 

Have a great weekend everyone:)
