Friday dad had taken the day off from work to do some serious maintainance on the boat. This time he took the polishing machine with him to try to get the greyness from the what was white 30 years ago. The upper side of the hull. First washing the hull, then grinding with special sanding paper 2000 and then with sanding paper 4000. After that, once again claining and then polishing with a special polishing paste and the result was actually quite good. (to my own surprise..) Saturday lisette took Nils to his hockey training and dad took Wende and Ingmar to do some shopping. When lisette came home we all went to buy some gifts for granddad's 86 birthday. Dad bought him a plastic frog that could be used at the small waterside in granddad's garden. Lisette choose some nice plants for granddad's garden. We also took a couple of strawberry plants for grandpa loves these and now he can grow them himselve. When we arrived, Maaike and Jaap and the kids were there already. The frog needed a pump so dad had to do some more shopping on the spot but in the end granddad had a nice fountain and a frog spitting water.. Aunt Henny came over as well to join us for dinner at a restaurant with an outside playground and a donkey. Ingmar now knows what a donkey sounds like.. Dinner was great but we still miss our mom who passed away last year. Sunday morning Lisette and I went to the park with the kids and took a couple of hockey sticks with us. Jaap joined us later on and we played a match kids versus parents. The kids won.. somehow.
