Yesterday the girls were playing with their Polly Pockets. When I looked at the table I couldn't help but smile at how each of them had 'organized' their clothes, shoes, etc.
Amazing how two girls from the same parents can be so different :) I will leave it up to you to decide which picture goes with which girl.
Last week we took a trip to Blue Bell Creamery with our neighbors, Lori, Lauren, Claire and Megan. Blue Bell ice cream is world famous in Texas! First we had a tour of the factory were we could see some of the 55+ flavors being made. At the end of the tour we all got to pick a flavor to taste! Texas size scoop of course...
On our way back from the airport we were very surprised to see this by the side of the road. I have seen funny things beings sold by the side of the road but a drilling rig was a first for us!
Apologies for the bad quality pictures but it is a bit hard when you are passing it at 65 mph (I wasn't the one driving though!)
A trip to Holland wouldn't be complete without a visit to FEBO (Dutch fast food). In Holland we call this 'uit de muur eten', the literal translation would be, eating out of the wall.
Let me try to explain to those who have never experienced this. In the wall there are little windows with different kind of foods behind it. You put your money in the slot and then open your preferred window. The machines are filled with typical dutch snacks such as kroket (meat croquettes with different fillings), kaassoufflé or frikandel (a kind of sausage). Needless to say, not the most healthy option but nice anyway.
As I said before, this summer we are trying to show the girls some typical Dutch sights. Now what could be more Dutch than seeing how cheese is made. So off we went to the 'Clara Maria' cheese farm in Bovenkerk.
On probably the nicest day we have had this summer in Holland we were out on the boat. It was such a beautiful evening and we went out on the Westeinder Plassen and the Ringvaart.
Our peaceful trip was somewhat disrupted by the KLM!
