Granddad 80 years young

At the 5th of May granddad became 80 years young. He didn;t want to let this occasion go unnoticed. So he invited his friends and his sisters and fmaily in law for a party at home.

The weather was great that day so we were lucky

Everyone came and it was a great party

At around the afternoon we went to a good restaurant close to granddad's home

The meal was super and everyone enjoyed the atmosphere

My sister Marja had thought of a good present for my father.

She had an artist made a drawing of grandmother

It was a beautiful drawing

The grandchildren made a big art work with all of granddad's favourite things: included were the sofa, the big television and the remote control

The battle of the generations

At the end of the soccer season we have the traditional father son match.

The stakes are high and the honour of winning is great

So all the dads give the best they could

So it was the fathers against Robert's team that became the champion this year at C3

Even brothers and sisters can join the team so Patrick played with me against Robert

It was a great match and we dads won!! thanks to Patrick!

A week in Poland

Well, sorry for the delay. I will now try to update the blog with all our recent events. Let me see if I remember it all. At the end of April we went to Poland for a week. We were lucky: the weather was super. It felt like a summer holiday on the beach. We spent lots of time on the old bikes, walking on the promenade, going to the beach and built sand castles. It was a great stay with the family.

We also went two days to Szczecin where we visited Servas friends that we hadn't seen for a few years. The children had grown! we had a very warm welcome and could talk with our friends until late in the evening. we also visited Gosia's friend's family. She also is called Gosia. She is a math professor at the university. She had it all planned for us what we could do in a day. It was a busy schedule but we made it. We also visited a gymnastics club. I was amazed a the high level of the pupils. Maaike was also amazed. We try to organize an exchange with our Dutch gymnastics club.
