On sunday we drove down to Veldhoven to visit our very good Swedish friends Jerry and Soile Vennerholm and their 3 kids Tilda, lukas and Elias. We met them in Goteborg in church, and from the moment I joined the church there, Soile and Jerry were my family. I am so happy that they are in Holland so we can stay in touch more easily.
It was general conference weekend, so we got to listen to a few talks at their home. We all went to a playpark near their home which had a zip-line- sofia and lilian's favorite. Tjonkje got to do most of the same things including the zip-line. It was so wonderful to catch up, and to eat delicious smorgastarta and many other foods.
The next morning Josh and I played tennis with Jerry, while Soile colored with the girls and Jasper took a nap, while their kids were all in school. Jerry LOVES to play and is really good despite the fact that he never had lessons. We had a lot of fun and so had the girls. Soile is the sweetest mom that I know, very soft-spoken and calm-something I still need to learn! We then took everyone to a cute little petting zoo nearby, where sofia and Lilian got to hold a little bunny, both of them ended up with scratches on belly and eye! They still had a lot of fun though. On the way home, we stopped in Den bosch for a delicious Bossche Bol (a huge puff filled with heavy whipped cream and covered in yummy chocolate, about 5000 calories per bite :) ). What a fun weekend. We're looking forward to seeing the Vennerholms at our home someday!

Don't you just love vacations with friends and family?! The park is beautiful! Actually, is there an ugly part of Holland? Every picture that I have seen looks breath-takingly beautiful!
