We biked to the water playground at Delftsse Hout to meet the playgroup around 10:30. We saw this periwinkle bike with an infant car seat attached to the frame on back. The Dutch do carry everything on their bikes. This week, Gina with Merrick plus Casia with Jimmy and Alicia attended. We had a nice time and the boys enjoyed the water and the sand. The sand is so fine; they are always covered in it by the time we leave. There were lots of older kids playing in the water, which gave us a glimpse into what is coming once school lets out for the summer holiday. That happens in Delft on July 7. Holland is divided into 3 zones and the 6-week summer vacations are staggered by 2 weeks. This is their way of somewhat managing the amount of people traveling and the terrible traffic in July and August around the Netherlands. Before heading home, we visited the sheep, goats and horses at the animal farm. Lots and lots of kids (the 4-legged kind: goats) and lambs.
Later on Tuesday, we walked to a smaller grocery store via stroller to pick up a few items. On our way home, we saw a ladder firetruck taking out a window on the 3rd floor of an old building. It was quite a scene with the politie (police) and the fire truck with 2 firefighters. The firefighter equipment and especially their helmet looked quite different what we're used to seeing.
