When the sun is shining, everyone. We  tells you to go outside. It’s like the sun shining is a novelty and we better hurry up and enjoy it while it lasts. I kinda like that mentality… To enjoy the moment because it might not last.

And so we did. The big kids walked with Jeff to buy train passes for the day.  He went off to work and they walked home alone. Baby steps of freedom in a new land.  Once we finished. Lunch and cleaning up, we actually walked down town to do some bike shopping.  We also had to return a bank card we found stuck in the ticket stand. We shopped around and then toothere train to Amsterdam.

Our adventures today took us to Starbucks, to my PEO sister’s bookstore, and to the Museumplein to play outside and read our new books.We waited for Jeff to join us and then we went to meet Beth from PEO. We walked to her beautiful home and met her husband.  Such a gorgeous house and the kids were so excited to catch a glimpse of the Olympics! We still don’t have cable or Internet!  They took us out for delicious Italian food and we enjoyed a great conversation together. Afterwards they drove us home and thank goodness! The sunny day turned into torrential showers.  Its so nice to make new friends in a new city. So thankful.

Lesson Learned: always carry a raincoat! The weather can change dramatically in a day.
