Smith Secrets......Shhhhh.....: Tivoli Gardens and Such.....

Thursday: Today we woke up, went down and ate breakfast then came back upstairs to our room and got ready. When Grandpa, Grandma, Russ and Nicole were ready, we drove over to the Kristus statue and looked at that for a little bit. It was pretty cool! After that,we drove over to the mission office and talked to some senior missionaries about going to Tivoli Garden's. We had arranged earlier that they would be able to get us in for way less money. They told us to come back at 1:30 and we would go then. So, we went to lunch at ANOTHER Italian restaurant which was yummy! I got some spaghetti, mom got a salad and dad got some pepperoni pizza with real pepperonis that tasted super good! After eating we went back to the mission office and picked up the guy that was going to take us. We drove over to his apartment that he lives in and parked the van in the parking lot. He then took us in to his apartment and we got another umbrella to use. We then started walking to Tivoli. It only took us like 5-10 minutes to walk there. Then we met the other senior missionaries and they let us all in to Tivoli! First, we walked around the gardens and took some really pretty pictures with the flowers and everything. It was really pretty! After we did that, dad and I got into aa line for this airplane ride! It looked super fun. It would swing around in circles and it went super fast! We waited in line for awhile. Meanwhile Russ, Nicole and mom went on some rides that they though would be more fun. We finally got to the front of the line and they put us in this little place where you wait to get on the ride and this guy that we had been talking to was supposed to be on the same plane as us so he was standing next to dad and I. There wasn't anyone else that was riding by themselves so there was just going to be an empty seat next to me. Nicole was standing over by mom so dad just told Nicole that we had an extra seat she could go on, so she did! The ride ended up being super fun! Mom was talking pics of us the whole time and it was funny cause her and Nicole were the only ones screaming and mom wasn't even on the ride! Then it started going ready fast and Nicole couldn't scream anymore cause there was so much wind in our faces and it was really funny! After we got off that, mom, dad, Russ and I walked over to a roller coaster that Russ and Nicole had been on earlier but only 4 people could fit on a row and we were in the very front! So, I sat on the edge with Russ next to me then Nicole next to him and the guy that had been on the ride before with us. Then mom and dad sat behind us with some other people next to them. We started going on the ride and it was o.k. but it wasn't like amazing. At the very end when we were starting to slow down a bird flew right in front of us ad it almost hit all of us in the face! IT was seriously so close to us that we could have reached out and touched it! Russ tried to block his face but the restraint made it so he couldn't and it was really funny! Anyways, it didn't hit any of us but it was really close to it! Next, dad and I walked over to this one that had lots of swings and spun around and went up and down. IT was funny cause there were different layers of wind that we could feel! After that we went on a floating ride called the "Mine" It was funny cause mom was just talking to these boys that were from Denmark and we were paying attention to that and then all of a sudden it dropped down and it was really funny and gave us butterflies in our stomach. It was a really fun ride! After that dad and I walked over to a ride that goes to the ver top then drops down! We then went on the "Mine" ride 2 more times then we left! We walked back to the apartment and got our car. We then spent about an hour in the act trying to get to Christiana. On the way there we stopped at the airport because we had to figure out where we were and stuff. We finally made it to Christiana and parked then walked in. There were signs everywhere saying no pictures and people were selling drugs and stuff. It was kinda funny but kinda scary:/ So, after that we drove over to this super tall building called Vor Frelsers Kirs (The Saviors Church) A guy spent most of his life working on it so the spirals could go the same way as the sun and earth. He built it the wrong way. When he heard he had built it the wrong way he climbed the 400 stairs to the top and jumped off! So we went in it and climbed all the way up and it was pretty steep! I went to the very top step and the wind was blowing so hard! I was scared that my phone was going to fall out of my sweater pocket lol! So, after that we climbed back down the 398 steps and drove over to Jensen's Bufhaus to eat! Mom got a salad....again! and dad and I got a steak thing with fries and a really delicious wine sauce! It was super yummy! After dinner we decided that we were gonna be fat, so we drove over to get churros and ice cream! It was so, so yummy and I loved it! The churros were chocolate covered too so they were extra healthy;) After that we went back to the hotel and got ready for bed and went to sleep!

Vacation was starting to catch up with these two....So so sleepy!
