A Little Weekend Fun

Weekend Fun

Last weekend the sun was out and we had beautiful weather! We spent the entire weekend outdoors enjoying the rays. On Saturday we went to the beach for the first time in Amsterdam. We have beaches about 30 minutes out of the city, so we took off in the morning and drove there. We went to Zandvoort beach near Harleem. It was very nice with lots of restaurants up and down the beach, food and drinks, lounge chairs, shade...they have it all. We had a great day and the kids really enjoyed it. On Sunday we went to Vondelpark in the morning and played in the kids wadding pool. It was only 10am and it was already hot and starting to get crowded. Of course the kids loved this also. And in the afternoon we took the kids to a baseball game to see the Amsterdam Pirates (like minor league AAA ball) play in the beautiful baseball/softball sportspark they have in Osdorp (near our office). They have 4 fields and it was a happening place on a nice sunny Sunday afternoon. They have a full bar and consession stand. Europeans seems to know how to do it right. They have food and alcohol at almost every public place/event. They even tried recruiting Wes to play and wanted him to go out with them and practice before the game!
