Linda and Jeff in Holland!
by Jeff, Linda, David and Bianca
Thomas and I picked-up Linda and Jeff yesterday, Saturday mid-day. Since then it already seems like we have done a lot, which is great! We chilled out yesterday, let the kids get acquainted with their aunt and uncle and then went for a walk and played some ball sports. (You will see there pictures of the school Thomas is likely to go to in 4 months or so.) Linda and Jeff gave Thomas a Wiffle(tm) ball bat and ball- wow, he loved it!@ He can hit like a big leaguer! (makes decent contact a large percentage of the time!) Today we went first for a lunch at Hotel New York in Rotterdam, for Linda and Jeff had to have their tomato soup again- and I must say it is truly an excellent tomato soup they offer, lekker (delicious). Then we walked around and came back. In the afternoon, I took them on an hour and a half bike tour of Pijnackers wild, back woods areas! It was a lot of fun (good exercise for big 'ole me, a stroll in the park for them!). Then Anky and Ger were here when we came back and we had a "gezelig" drink with them. Finally, Bianca cooked, we ate, etc, etc- but those pictures are for the next roll! tomorrow morning, or should I say really early this morning, we will leave for France by car (leaving around 3am). We will stay one night at this city to see it and its cathedral (Chartres) and then head back! More later, Love, Us.
