visiting Holland

We have been in Holland for the last several days, and I have not spent a lot of time on the computer. I wanted to take a moment to post a few pictures though, to let you know what we have been up to.

We visited Peter and Anne's house...


to celebrate my dad's birthday. (Here is Mom cutting the special cake she baked.)


We enjoyed the nice (relatively cool to us) weather by going biking, including an extra-long ride today.


We went to the beach a couple times, and I went swimming while Brian made some carefully crafted sand castles.


We introduced Mom and Dad to Rockband. They both gave it a try and decided it was hard and a good way to learn rhythms. Dad especially favored the drums.


Also while we have been here, there has been construction during the day. As you can see, the siding is on the 3-season porch and it is really looking like a part of the house now. The inside is also almost complete, and the floor goes in next week (I think). Pretty cool!
