Day 146 – December 16

Today we had to return the books at school. As per today there are only tests to be taken, so books are no longer needed and necessary.

It was real foggy this morning but during the day it got out of our way and it turned out to be beautiful day.

We had some delicious donuts with coffee for lunch.

At 1.00PM we picked Camy up drom school and headed towards doctor Shah, my cardiologist, for my final appointment. Everything was just fine, no more checks until we go back home.

We also received a couple more Christmas cards today, thank you!

Day 80 – October 11

Hip Hip Hooray!

Today is party time! It is my birthday and Camy celebrates hers as well today, she turned 12-1/2.
She wanted to celebrate it in The USA, so why not today.

Because Camy celebrated her birthday as well we got her some golf clubs. Now she can play with Bram. We found those clubs at the Goodwill store while Camy was at school. And let me tell you, you do not run into those very often since they are left-handed and youth size. We bought three clubs, she how much she will like it.

This walking branch brought us a visit, never seen this one here before. I say walking branch but I am not sure of it because I do not think they can fly.

day80-11

For lunch I had made us some pumpkin soup and a pumpkin smoothy, and yes used the pumpkin I bought yesterday. I had already cut the pumpkin and had it sit in water the entire night. Only to be put into the blender today with banana, orange juice, milk and cinnamon to get this wonderful smoothy, real good!

We decided to go to Universal Citywalk this evening to celebrate, we had never been there before. We read a lot about it but never actually went. It is comparable with Disney Pleasure Island except that Disney is, in our opinion, more family minded and Citywalk more for the older, at least that is what we think. We like Disney better but it was good to atleast been there.

And to finish it all up, make your own ice cream.

All in all a superb day, special and different from Holland.

Day 32 – August 24

Today we started with this wonderful breakfast.
It is a dozen donuts, but there will be enough for lunch as well.

Day32-01

We jumped into the pool afterwards, read a little and hang out to enjoy the sun.

Later in the afternoon we drove to Jack and Carole, our American parents 🙂 We have known them for over 25 years, from when Bram first attended Gateway High and kept in touch ever since. They live in Kissimmee and we are always more than welcome to visit or what ever. Since they have a pool as well we brought our bathing suits along, you never know.

Day32-02

Carole took us out for dinner at Logan’s. They serve their drinks in mason jars, isn’t that cool! Since all shops are open on sundays as well we could not resist but visit a couple.
