Theme:         Dinosaurs

Denmark

How very sad!  The Assembly of God missionary office said that country taxes made it literally impossible for a missionary to stay in Denmark.  I don't know if that's the same for all denominations (AoG was the site that came up when I was Googling (tm) Denmark missionaries), but that has to make it very difficult to get a missionary in.

Instead of praying for a specific missionary family, we prayed for the country as a whole and that missionaries would be more easily allowed to minister there.

Internet research resources about Denmark for kids.

Danish food:

• Fish stew
• Creamed kale
• Browned potatoes
• Pumperknickle bread with "Fruits of the Forest" spread
• Kugel
• Black licorice salty fish

The fish stew was yummy and has been added to our permanent recipes.  The kale was good, but I think I'd've preferred it with some other green.  The browned potatoes were sweet-- they went fast.  Pumperknickle bread not so much a favorite, but kugel was very good.

Do not buy black licorice salty fish! :)  Hubby likes black licorice; I like salty.  We both really disliked these.  The kids wouldn't even eat them.

Determination

Verse:       Philippians 1:6

Plants Grown Up pages 261-262-- we chose three from B, C, D, F, G, or K

Dinosaurs

Oh, how my boys love this topic, and how careful we have to be when we study it.  Fortunately, I already have my oldest child indoctrinated and anytime a video or book says "millions of years", he automatically corrects it with "thousands of years".
