Toby and I visited Nijmegen and Rhenen this weekend one last time before we leave Holland. We managed to see José, Maya, Trudy, René, Gonny and Marie José. It was really lovely to see everyone again! It's been such a great experience to get to know the family here better. Especially for little Max- he may not remember Holland but he's a dutchie too!

Boys and Cars

Even at 90 boys still like cars. Happy 90th birthday Opa.

Family Wedding

Congratulation Heidi and Simon.
It was a lovely sunny day for a family wedding.

Going native

 

Toby and I took Max and Toby's parents- Carolyn and Andrew on a day trip to Volendam, a small village on the Markemeer. The thing to do there is walk along the waterfront and dress up like locals to get your photo taken. So we did. And then followed it up with appeltart, poffetjies, haring and kibeling. Swung by Edam on the way home and picked up some cheese too. Couldn't get more dutch if you stuck a clog on it. Which we did as well. Crikey.

Happy New Year to everyone!
