Family Visit

We had a great time with W's family here.  The weather was very kind to us so we were able to explore town as much as we wanted.  

Riding the train



Riding on Uncle P's shoulders!  She was so happy up there! 




Here we are walking along the embankment that where the city wall used to be. 
Look at that happy little girl.  She loved having everyone here.  



Uncle P and S getting some work done. 



All this touring can be tiring. 

  
A nearby school.  


With a zip line in the playground. 




E was eager to try out her new bike.  
It is much bigger than her bike at home so it took some getting used to. 
 

S is perfectly content to go out while E is on her bike.  
As long as there are swings nearby she's a happy little camper. 



In the park we ran across these pieces of fruit hanging from a tree.  
Around the tree you can see a red ribbon and a note.  


Here's a note - a poem about animals surviving until spring. 


And with the poem, this note saying "Merry Christmas to the animals (djuren) 
best wishes from the children (barnen).   What a sweet tradition!  
(Maybe it isn't a tradition though, I can't find anything about it online.  I'll have to ask around!)
