Family Reunion in Dragor!!

Here we are, the main reason we went to Europe was for a family reunion with the Magleby family members in the USA and the family members who are in Denmark. We were able to visit the town of Dragor which is where Joe's Great-Great-Great grandfather Hans O. Magleby was born and lived until he was 17 (I believe, if I remember right) and he was apprenticed and moved to Copenhagen.
Store Magleby
Zach and me on the Horse Carriage ride that we took through the town. Notice the ginormous bump on Zach's head :( He had fallen and smacked his head on a huge rock right before we took the ride, poor guy! He hit it so hard this bump had formed before I could pick him up and take off his hat, I couldn't believe it, he had never had a bump this big before!
This is the house that Joe's Great-Great-Great Grandfather was born and raised in.


All of the direct Magleby descendants who attended the reunion, both from the US and Denmark!! How exciting it was!!
Our Magleby's (minus Dan, who was on the end, and I haven't figured out how to photoshop him in yet, lol). Bente (who is in the white, to the right behind Katie) and Bodil (in the green in front of Dave) were the ones from Denmark who really put this thing together, and they did such a great job!!
