We have been mostly settling back into our Netherlands routine after the busy time in Prague, spending time at our favorite playgrounds and catching up on some schoolwork.
Today we decided to have picnic again at Speelpark De Splinter, which I wrote about previously. The kids were admiring the big splash pool before, and I told them that it would likely not get filled until after we leave, since it’s warming up slow and school here goes until late July. Well, surprise, today at least one part of the pool was open and happily used by many kids. Today’s high was only 75F and we only had a few days with highs over 70. Tomorrow’s forecast if for high of 55F and not much better for the following week. But to the kids’ great delight it was open! Fortunately nobody makes a big deal out of what the kids wear or don’t wear, and we grabbed extra shorts and underwear, as there are many water hazards at that park, so our kids got to enjoy it along with everybody else. Next time we’ll bring the swimsuits though:-)
They soaked up the sun afterwards and enjoyed the park for the most of the day again. We will miss this place when we go back to US. Can somebody at least put some of these cool swings on our playgrounds?
