Saturday dad got some more wood for Nil's shed and slowly work is progressing. Up to now, the framework is about ready and next item is wooden boards to make up the walls. I'm trying to find the cheapest of wood but it is difficult, second hand websites. anyone any ideas? Sunday we went to see my dad and there were festivities in the centre of Hulst. We had to do some shopping for dinner anyway so all went for a stroll to the city center. Lots of people but not too much to see, maybe it was also because the weather wasn't too good either.. Anyway, it is always nice to see dad again and this time I had a look at the book I ordered written bij one of our ancestors around 1650. It was a original book with the translation of the bible from hebrew into dutch..

Nils's birthday party for friends
Jongens, wacht nou even..
Nils invited a couple of friends over to celebrate his birthday and we took them to de warande, a fun / swimpark with lots of things to do. We gambled on good weather and we were lucky.. It was not so very warm but warm enough to change into swimsuits and enjoy the water. Ingmar was with us too and when he was getting tired, we settled him into the cart where he was kept warm with a couple of towels. Looked a bit like gadaffi.. The kids haf a great time and although this swimming parc is not too far away, none of them actually had been there before.. In the evening, we made a lot of pancakes because a girlfriend of Nils stayed for dinner. She could not join the swimming fun because she had to go to school. Another girlfriend was to join us for dinner as well but she fell ill but she did have her sister bring a present for him, how nice. Saterday we had an easy going day. First lisette did some shopping for essentials and I satyed at home with the kids. In the afternoon we went to our local beach where lots of friends of Nils and Wende were there as well and at night dad fired up the bbq and made delicious chicken sate. Sunday morning dad went to the boat to put the rudder back into place because they plan to put the boat back into the water this friday. The damage they did to the hull was still not repaired.. I'll have to have a little chat with them on friday..
