Sietsma Family Weekend 2007

Every year during our stay in Holland we organize a 3/4 day weekend for the whole family. We very much appreciate this, because for us it's the best way to spend some time with everybody.
The whole family means my mum and dad, 3 brothers and a sister with spouses and 9 kids. Yes, that's a total of 19

This photo (above) is actually the second family photo. The first one is posted below and was messed up by a 4 year old boy, named Nicky.He decided to stand up and hide his head inside his sweat shirt, when the timer went off.....AAAARRRGGHH!!
So we had to do it all over again....

We usually go to one of those nice bungalow parks with swimming pool, tennis courts , playgrounds, etc.
The kids love these weekends! They can run, swim and play until they drop and they go to bed very late.
This year we went for a park in Zeeland in the south-west of Holland, which is about 2 hours drive from Zutphen.



It was a busy weekend, but we had a great time. The only bad thing was the weather. It was cold and rainy! Fortunately the indoor pool had warm water, the beers were cold and there was soccer to watch on TV at night.( Sue was not exactly thrilled about the soccer thing.....)
