Every night for a week, in September our little town does this walk in the evening ever year. All the kids are excited to do it. They do a treasure hunt as you walk a different path around town each night. It ends up being around 3 to 4 miles each night. These kids love it though. It is so fun to run around with all of there friends and walk in this big mass of people around town. At the end all of the kids get these little medallions for walking. My girls were so excited about theirs. They call them their "gold metals". It was an enjoyable time to share together as a family.
Before we go walking each night they did warm up time for the kids which was done by having
them dance around. It was so fun watching the kids concentrating so hard to do the moves the teacher was doing. They were so into it. The instructer is Brianna's K3 dance teacher. She is
a really fun instructer.
You know I managed to get all the girls friends to look at me and the camera but I never actually got the girls to look at the camera. Natural/thoughtful expressions are good too.
Here we are all together on the last night after everything was done. Everyone brings flowers for everyone. The children are really tired. But it was fun and our friendships are strong. I'm so greatful for the friends I have made here. In the Photo are my friends Erna center and Beate Left with there families. Ulrike is usually with us too. Her kids are in the picture but she had to work this last night. She does guided tours and this was one of the nights she had to giving a tourist group a guided tour of Amsterdam. She knows so many interesting fun facts. Marta is our other friend but she couldn't be there because she just had twin baby girls. We missed you Marta.
Here are the girls with there metals. They are so proud of them. It was so exciting to get these awards for them.
