A weekend away

As mentioned in my previous post, we went away for the weekend.
We went to a nice holiday park in Arcen, which is just a little over an hour drive from us.
We arrived on friday afternoon somewhere between 3 and 4 pm, which is quite a good time, given that we first had to do DD13's newspaper round....
We had a very nice bungalow, DD13 had the room closest to the frontdoor.

Next to her room was our room:

Not to worry, DH rearranged to furniture, so he could sleep close to me :D

DD11 & DD8 had the room close to the livingroom, which had a bunk bed, so much fun!

And then, of course, there was the livingroom:

 

We didn't really do much anymore on friday, except for some grocery shopping in Germany, which was just approx. 10 km's from our holiday home...

After breakfast on saturday morning, the first thing on our program was to go to the swimmingpool, as the DD's had all been very anxious to go.

Well, the swimming pool being wet and all, I thought it wasn't such a good plan to take my camera with me, so I nicked some pictures from the www.

 We all had lots of fun there, but eventually we had to get out and go back to our little home to get us some lunch.

After that we had to do some more shopping, as we forgot a couple of things the other day.

This time we went to Venlo. DH bought us some yummie milkshakes at KFC.

In the evening I had some dolly time, and made up a little nightie for Amelia Thimble:

I also made a nightie with yellow accents

Breakfast on sunday morning:

After breakfast we went to the swimmingpool again, until I was really worn out......

So we went back to the bungalow, had lunch, and already had to pack our things, as DH had to work on monday. 

But, there was still a little fun activity for the girls: going to the indoor playground and dancing there.

Unfortunately DD11 hit her head a couple of times, so she really didn't feel up to the dancing

The Hokey Pokey, one of DD8's favourites

 Some more climbing fun for DD8:

After that little break, we went back to the bungalow, had dinner, and finished packing.

Driving back we found out the storm had already started to build up, but we arrived back home safely.

What a lovely weekend it was!
