As you know already we enjoy our summer holidays these days and I promised myself to spend not that much time on my computer because I really need to relax and to have some quality time with my family. We are not traveling, we hope to enjoy spending some time in our garden and inviting friends and family.

But today I wanted to post some pictures of the things that kept us busy during this first week of our holidays.

Jan’s daughter Nele, her husband Tom and the children Alexa and Tristan joined us for a couple of days. We were looking forward to their visit!

The family (and the half of their household!) arriving at our home.

A drink on our time together.

Alexa was proud to offer Jan the drawing she had made for pappie and mammie (= Jan & me).

Alexa & me.

Preparing the meal.

The weather wasn’t that nice the passed days, but fortunately it wasn’t raining so Tristan and Alexa were able to cycle !

In the afternoon we went to my mum’s house, where there is a swing in the garden.

Jan and Anthony installing the swing for the children.

So Jan had to push his grandchild of course.

Anthony tried to teach his godchild Alexa how to use the scooter.

Aren't they just cute ?!

The other day we went for a walk in our neighbourhood and had lunch in an idyllic situated restaurant 'De Zwalmmolen’.

In the afternoon we all went to the manege ‘De Paardebloem’ where Nele and me wanted to practice horse riding.

Tom and Tristan walking along the horse stables.

This is me on the back of Mango.

Alexa is watching her mum.

Nele and Mango.

Jan is encouraging his daughter.

A future horse rider?

Alexa and me, Ralph and a friend !

I hope you enjoyed this holiday post.

Talk to you soon!
