<br />
Today we had our last session before the May holidays. <br />
It was a relaxed morning, with Marcia's aunt coming to visit to have a look at her great-nieces playgroup. Yara and Katharina had a wonderful time playing together with the kitchen and the little bikes. Anna was crawling around trying to stand up at everything she could reach... Moms chatting. :-)<br />
<br />
We won't be at the Spelewey during the next 2 weeks. For those who stay home: keep an eye on your email, I want to organize something if I can.<br />
So, next official FF morning is on wednesday, 15 May. <br />
<br />

While there is nothing more certain than death and taxes, there is nothing more unpredictable than a sunny day in the Lowlands.<br />Ultimately, picnic weather prevailed and we had a great afternoon outdoors with lots of good food and company. The kids ran around to their hearts' content (with fathers in tow) while the mothers relaxed and chatted!

After last years extremely enjoyable outing to the Olmenhorst Spring Fair we thought it would be a great idea to repeat it. The Olmenhorst is a beautiful apple and pear orchard in Lisserbroek. Once a year they hold a big spring fair. There are lots of stalls with foods to taste and clothes and home decorations to purchase. A great day out for the mums, dads and kids. There is a playground for children and a some farm animals will be around as well.<br /><br />The fair will be held all weekend from Friday 10 till Monday 13 June. For those who would like to meet up and have a browse around the stalls together we will meet on Saturday 11 June at the front entrance at 10.30. Hope to see you there!<br /><br />Tip: Tickets are €11.50, but if you pre-order tickets online before 8 June, they are only €9!<br />website: <a href="http://www.olmenhorst-voorjaarsfair.nl/">http://www.olmenhorst-voorjaarsfair.nl/</a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.olmenhorst-voorjaarsfair.nl/files/Moodbar/Dia4.JPG"><img style="align:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 450px;" src="http://www.olmenhorst-voorjaarsfair.nl/files/Moodbar/Dia4.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Regards,<br />The CommitteeUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5600093590099274003.post-83603273762049332452011-04-28T10:18:00.003+02:002011-04-28T10:59:33.657+02:00FF meeting in Noordwijk 4 May<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.eeterijdebeleving.nl/image2.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 314px; height: 235px;" src="http://www.eeterijdebeleving.nl/image2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Hello all, <div> </div> <div>As it is school holidays in Voorhout next week (Wednesday 4 May 2011) there will be <strong>no</strong> First Friends in de Spelewey.
