Our trip to see the lambs at Herstedhøje in Albertslund

Høj means 'high/hill' and it certainly was - for Denmark, that is.

Jakob and Petra soon took the lead.
Well Jakob has climbed Mont Blanc,
so this was right up his street/hill. 

It is a long way up down there, as my own granddad used to say.

But something tells me we might find sheep and lambs pretty soon...

Laura tripped but didn't roll down the hill, thank goodness
and dusted herself off quickly.

Lauras little red rabbit came along for the ride in his own travel box.

What a view!

Especially upside down!

There was a circle of stones - perhaps a Viking relic?

And there were the little lambs. They've all been born now and were
having a lovely time lounging and roaming free on the grass.

This one was thirsty.

This one was hungry.

We sat down very still (relatively speaking - or relatively not speaking) 

And they came close enough to see what Jakob's hair tasted like!
It did look nice and tufty ;o)

We called this one 'Wiggy'

This mum looked like she'd been up all night.

Petra loved them.

Then after our picnic, Laura enjoyed pond dipping with the 'nets' that the nature centre provided free of charge.  

She made a little friend who had caught a young salamander. 

We caught 'cribbly crabblies'.

There were also three or four bonfire huts - perfect for parties. 

Nice and cosy inside.

Another party was making dough twists with dough
they'd brought along.

You can book them in advance or take pot luck but they are quite popular. The number and email address are in the bottom left-hand corner above.

Then after Laura had been pond dipping for about 2.5 hours,
we went in the cafe to stuff ourselves on cake.
We weren't alone in the stuffed department.

There were a couple of live snakes in large terrarium as well as this fox. 

You could taste different kinds of cress and stuff. 

But we liked the ice cream best!
