We have had a lot of nice visiting with Dave and Ruth (Ellyn’s parents) from Chicago and  Ger (Rob’s father).  We mostly enjoyed just hanging out around the house and doing small projects in and around the house. It was really nice just to all be together and catch up on everything from the last year. We also had a short visit from Judy and Walter from New Zealand who were house swapping in The Netherlands.

For Rob’s birthday we went to one of our favourite restaurants, d’ Artiest, where Henny and his crew made us very welcome after a long time since visiting.

We also had a quick visit from Mick, our brother-in-law, who came to pickup the mast for the sailboat to bring over to England. We were happy to have help from our friend Jaap in fixing the rigging on the boat.

Here are some photo’s. If you are wondering why everyone is wearing orange in some of them, that was for Queensday, the national holiday at the end of April.
