Sipping sun and beauty on a few summer days

Beautiful summerdays in Brabant, the Southern part of the Netherlands where I grew up. This is a short impression of beauty I enjoyed:
pic 1 - Some hours spend on a sand-drift. Fine sand, little toy cars, a bright sun, a soft breeze and a beautiful and inspiring book (My name is Asjer Lev - Chaim Potok (Thanks for lending it out to me A, only a few pages left...)
pic 2 - I tasted these little blackberries and the flavour made me remember a time about 27 years ago, walking in a forest with my grand mother and enjoying these little berries.
pic 3 - I was surrounded with lots of wild flowers. I wasn't the only one who enjoyed them!

Boat trip

Last weekend we went for a little boat trip; my father, my boys and I. What a beautiful day to be on the water. I love the joyfull moment of standing still, feeling the waves playing with the boat, the sun touching my skin and the sound of my children having fun.
They were playing with their little boats - catching gigantic waves. Great fun!

Enormous stones, small fish, lot's of fun and beauty

Last week we stayed in a Dutch area called Drenthe to spend our last week of vacation. What a great area. Love the people, the nature, the relational-, old fashioned & relaxed way of living.
Visiting hunebeds, walking through a gnome park (no, the gnomes were fake...), searching through old stuff at markets, some primitive fishing with the boys, reading, baking pancakes, eating them (ofcourse), visiting old friends (after 17 years), enjoying forests and wandering about in a zoo!








Great, great vacation!

Beach

Last week we went for holiday to Zeeuws Vlaanderen. A great week of enjoying sun, beach, a cool breeze, fun with the family, relaxing, making trips and searching for little treasures in the sand and water (we found lots of crabs, shrimps, shells and shark teeth!). It was fabulous!





Now back to work...

In the grass

Today we went to a family member's birthday and spend some hours in the sun. I loved laying in the grass - and the kids who couldn't resist jumping on top of me a few seconds later!
Have a great and sunny weekend.
