Ladies Day

Sunday we went to a horse race just outside Copenhagen. It was a special day where all the ladies got in for free. My host Mor, Esther, had been looking forward to it for a whole month or longer!! She told me that all the ladies wore large hats and looked terrific! And boy was it true!

I chose a big red hat and Mor chose a yellow one. Then we decorated them with fun stuff we could find. Mine was decorated with roses and ivy while Mor's was decorated with green grapes and ivy. We called me "the rose girl" but i think i ended up looking like a cowgirl!! My Mor just laughed and told me that i couldn't ALWAYS be a cowgirl!! Haha!

We went to the horse race and placed bets on the different races. Unfortunately, i didn't win big. But i did win 13 kroner on one race (likes like 2 dollars and 50 cents) but i bet it with my older host brother Kris on the next race. But we did try!! :)

We also got to go onto the track and see the horse race start. Then we ran as fast as we could to see them finish! It was so much fun. We had a picnic there and i got to eat LOTS of good Danish food. And just before going home, we had a contest to see who had the best hat. Mor won but i came in second and got a bag of the MOST delicious Danish candy ever! :) Ladies Day at the horse track had made my weekend!
