Wise break day


So our original plans were to head to Disney the 2nd day in a row. However our plans to head to the Kennedy space station to watch a launch were postponed. The launch we wanted to watch was set for another day. We decided to have a break day. The time zone change can make for a little bit of a challenge on most people's moods. So we hung out in the warm sunshine and yes swam swam and swam some more. 
There was also lots of Lego building going on. These girls with there dads help finished off their fancy yacht. 
Don't worry the little guy had just as much fun pulling pieces off of it. 
Thankfully broken Lego structures are fixable. 

The next day was Animal Kingdom day. The little guys were definitely more excited about being here than seeing all those princesses. 
After spending time in the hot and sunny environment nothing like eating an ice cream!  E sitting in the sun because he was cold from being drenched in the last ride we went on.  The River Rapids. First round they got to go on with their Dad while i stayed behind and watched the little guy. 
Then thankful for the Disney consideration of allowing one parent staying behind with the little non riders you get a ticket for the fast pass and 3 guests get to go with you. So the 3 kiddos were sooooo excited to take me on the river Rapids. They chatted the whole walk over trying not to ruin the surprise.  I guess it was a great ride and a definite thrill of the day. And fortunately i  managed to stay dry. 
We did a few more rides and watched a show that J hated. Watch tough to be a big which all of our kids hated. Took the safari (still my favorite). And headed back to the house to swim. Kids choice over 1 more ride. 
Few more years before she gets behind a real wheel. Thankfully. 
It ended on a high note that day. Again we lost know one! Yay! The worst is over. We will see how Lego land goes tomorrow. 
May you all have a blessed and restful Sunday. We enjoyed a service close by.
We've also ran into a family we know from back home at Animal Kingdom.  They're a group of 16 so they were easy to spot. 
Also ran into another couple from back at home at church this morning. Kind of nice when you see a familiar face.

A little bubbly

This was the very first night that I officially slept well.  Finally transitioned over to the Dutch time zone.... Started the day with by filling the stomach with a good Dutch style breakfast.  If you're not Dutch could you guess what it is? With full stomachs we headed out for the day.  It was a rather frightening start down the skinny Dutch little road.  It barely can handle a bike and a car passing each other.  So to our surprise a massive semi truck was barreling down the road.  We pulled over in a pullout but  became trapped between a large truck and the canal. That canal was not looking too pretty for a swim.... Glad we didn't end up going for that swim and the we had no extra rental car bills to pay as the truck nearly missed the sideview mirror.  After safely arriving to the park n' ride we caught the bus.  This is a fantastic system if you're in Holland!  It cost 5 Euro to park the car and ride the bus for up to 5 people! ...

Trips and treasures

A little while ago I put the link back up on my social media page from a blog about Mother's Day.  Although I get very emotional about the day and the upcoming to the day with my precious Mom being in heaven, I do remember that I have the honour of celebrating motherhood and celebrating with other mothers in my life.  I know it can be a difficult day for many in different ways.   My one little guy who hangs out with me a lot gave me a special treat when I was down....how can you not resist his smile, with a card, cup of water and an apple all delivered with that big smile and even bigger heart. Shortly after that day I was given the privilege of going on a much desired field trip with my daughter.  If you know me at all, or even through this blog you know how much I desire the ocean and the wonders of it.  This trip to Salt Spring Islands did not fail me or my wonder of our wonderful creator.  We have so much more to experience from the ocean..... ...

2021

 Turned the calendar to 2021 a while ago and just have not sat down behind the computer to type away in a while.  I just had those summer 2020 blog posts waiting to be completed.  At last that goal was accomplished and I feel like the rest of 2020 went awash......I made a video to summarize our year and felt like that was good enough to complete the year.   I won't say our 2021 had the most marvellous start.  Our family was in isolation and I can't remember what day it was of 24 days being inside our home that we rolled the new year in.  However we were loved upon by many family members and friends over the time of being indoors.  Also what better time in the world to be "stuck" at home as you can get your grocery deliveries and any other shopping done and delivered all within 24 hours.  We did not suffer.  We may have been a little stir crazy at points, but we made the best of it! Building forts hasn't happened in a long time in our house, b...
