Long weekend in May

This time we had a long weekend to share with the kids and so we did. Thursday we went to the Drunense duinen and we took our bicycles with us. We parked the car somewhere and we cycled to the dunes and had a picknic there in the sand. The kids made a sort of tree house (well at least the first floor that is..) and Ingmar played with sand. The wind was a bit cold but the sun made up for it. We all turned home slightly sunburned.. On the way back we passed a campsite with a big playground and lots of kids running around. We had ourselves an ice cream there and continued our journey back to the car. At home we spent the time up to dinner in the garden. The next day dad went to the boat to set the sails ready for ther coming weekend and Lisette did the shopping run with the kids and took Wende to swimming lessons. Saturday Nils had to play a hockey game in Tilburg which he won with his team with 28 to 18.. He scored 8 goals and played very well together with his team. The game videos can be found below. After hockey Nils had to do a chess exam and he thinks he did it well.. Let's wait and see.. While we were driving back, Lisette rang us to tell that she was at our local beach with Wende and Ingmar so we drove back home, picked up the bikes and dry clothes for Ingmar and Wende and joined Lisette at the beach. In the afternoon we went to Breda were we met up with my dad and my sister. The Breda jazz festival is always very nice to got to but with our kids so young, it is quite a challenge.. We had dinner at a nice restaurant called Charelli and walked back through town to the bus stop were we took the bus back to were we parked our cars. Today sunday, we went to the swimming pool Caribabad in Gorinchem were we had one hand stuck under a slide, one brused head because of slipping backwards and 4 chaves on knees and leg.. But most of all we had fun with the slides and all. After the swimming pool the sun started to shine and we spent time in the garden were the kids made a hut next to the hut dad made with blood sweat and tears.. Wende said something funny but it makes perfect (kids) sense.. she said (when mom applied sun screen): "mommy, I don't want to get a tan because then I would have to marry a black person" (translated a good I possibly can..)
