Back after a summerbreak

So normal life has begin again last week. Camiel went back to school: group 2 (kindergarden) Tristan to his well known daycare group. And Etienne and me back to work.

We had a great summer. We went a week to France (Fouvent) to visit my parents, a very relaxing time. Not much entertainment around there. We went 2 nights back to home and then to Texel for another week, a island in the north of Holland. We stayed in a house on holidaypark: de Krim. Friends of ours also stayed in the park. We had a great time, the kids enjoyed themself, so much to do for them. For Camiel it was all about soccer this time, together with Kimani. Here are some pictures of Texel:

Racing on the playground

Lots of soccer playing 

Making their own candles (and also soap, bread and paper) at de Bonte Belevenis

Just after this picture Tristan fell in the ditch (sloot). Oopsie. The first legendary words he said after he was out were : CHIPPIE NOU? (were are my crisps now?) They were left behind in the water I think he was only 1 sec in before Eienne pull he out. But he was all wet and covered in duckweed (kroos). My scream attracked  a few persons who work there, they came with towels and I could wash him in the sink. Our friends had some sparecloths (I only had trousers). So everything worked out fine. And of course now we laugh about it, now I regret not making a picture when he came out, but I was a bit in a shock ;)

Workshop martial arts at the park, Camiel showing what he can on the floor :)

Haring happen

Indoor playground, they all had a great time, especially the littlest (Tristan and Melvi)

We took our bike with us, it's a great island to bike.

Beach is always fun

Soccer on the beach

All of us together minus 1, Kimani didn't want to be in any picture anymore (partypooper :) )

We went bowling

And of course eating out, notice Kimani ducking behind his father so he again wasn't in the picture.

Paardje rijden, Camiewl don't like it  but Tristan really liked it. When the girl who helped with the horses asked if he wanted to ride the smallest horse, he pointed at the biggest one, no fear at all :)

SO that was a picture overload. I'll save pictures of the rest of the holiday for later.

The latest Dutch Dare sketch challenge went live last week, I'lll show you my LO soon.
