First day of school

After three months of summer, lots of travelling, fun, family and friends the time has come to go back to school!

Big changes for Famke as she is no longer an elementary school student but starting sixth grade at Seven Lakes Junior High school. This means lots of new responsibilities. Changing classes for every subject, a locker, more freedom (read phones, gum, etc) and saxophone lessons!

Floortje is returning to Stanley Elementary in third grade. She will now also have to change classes as one teacher will give her English and social studies lessons, while the other one will teach science and math.

Have a great year girls!

 

Top Golf

On our last weekend before school started we took the girls to Top Golf. This is a golf/entertainment place here in Houston where golf and having a bit of fun come together.

It is a three floor setting with bays on each level. Each bay can accommodate about six people. You can order food and drinks and hit some balls at the same time. All the balls are microchipped and you choose a game on the screens. You then take turns hitting some balls at the different targets located on the 'fairway' in front of you. Depending on your distance to the set targets you can earn points. Lots of fun!

Thijs took his time teaching his girls, sweet!

 

Friends

After a great summer in Holland and Italy it is always nice to come home. Especially when meeting up with good friends for dinner!

 

Girls selfie

Our last night in Holland we were invited by Marc and Diana for dinner. It was so nice that the girls were able to spend so much time with Norah and Pep this summer. And always so hard to say goodbye! Please come and visit us soon!
