Nils's birthday party for his friends

Saturday Nils had his birthday party for his friends and luckily we had great weather. Friday was nasty and now (sunday) the weather is again bad.. Anyway, Nils had been counting the days until his birthday party and yesterday was finally the day.. At 1.30 pm everyone was present and although Lindsey at first fell ill, she turned up eventually to join them. We went by car to Boxtel where there is a museum about the ancient times. So lots of Dinasaurs!! We planned to do a search with questions about the things that were displayed but that turned out to be impossible with 7 screaming and running kids.. So we just let them. Luckily there were not many people about to annoy. They found a playground with a fossil in it covered by sand and with brushes for each of them and they immediately established who was boss, second and even third boss and got to business. When we came back home, they played in the garden while we prepared dinner (pancakes). Dad backed a lot of pancakes expecting the worst. In the end we were stuck with a pile of pancakes, you just never know what or how much they eat. The party ended with icecream and a free ride back to their homes. The party was a succes according to Nils and by the reactions from his friends they seemed to have a great time. Dad had promised Nils to get the train from the attick down when the weather was too bad to play outside

so, the rain was set up and played together with Wende. But before that we went to the swimming pool to have some fun with the geat waterslide.
