On thursday, we were finally able to go horse-back riding. We could take the horse through the woods (dwingelderveld) all by ourselves, as long as I help the rope. The girls wanted to have th horse run too, so I got some excercise. They both loved it, and felt very comfortable riding it.
Below a video of each.
In the afternoon we rented bikes for the girls again and biked about 8 miles roundtrip to a very cute teahouse in the 'Anserdennen'. It was a beautiful ride and they had delicious 'boterhammen' (sandwiches), cookies, cakes, and herbal tea. We ordered virtually everything off the menu, mmmmmm. The lady was nice enough to get the 'sjoelbak' out so the girls could learn how to play that very old-fashioned game, where you have to slide wooden pucks through 4 holes, for which you get points. When I was little we very often played that game in the weekends on (many) rainy days, and we learned early on that once the pucks are stacked in front of the holes, the only way to get more in is to slide the next ones very very hard. Ofcourse that meant that the 'sjoelbak' that my grandpa made himself, got ruined: all 4 holes merged into 1 gaping hole.
Back at home, the girls were plenty tired and had had a wonderful day! Pictures below.
